Why is your email valuable to hackers?
Why is your email valuable to hackers?

Email accounts often contain a wealth of personal information, including full names, addresses, phone numbers, and financial information. This data can be used for identity theft, fraud, or be sold on the black market.

How do email accounts get hacked or compromised?
How do email accounts get hacked or compromised?

Some common ways that email accounts can be compromised are:

Data breaches can allow hackers gain access to email addresses and passwords from breached databases. Phishing attacks can also be a threat and include social engineering scams, fraudulent emails, or messages trick users into revealing login credentials or clicking on malicious links. Malware like spyware or keyloggers capture login information through infected attachments or compromised software. Weak passwords or reusing passwords can also make email accounts vulnerable to hackers.

Signs that your email has been hacked and your data breached
Signs that your email has been hacked and your data breached

Signs of a possible data leak or compromised email account include:

Difficulties logging into your email account could indicate unauthorized access or a changed password. Unusual account activity like emails marked as read that you didn't read, emails in your Sent Folder that you didn't send, or contacts receiving unusual messages from your account can also indicate a hacked email account. Unexpected messages (spam) are another sign — suddenly receiving a high volume of spam emails or suspicious messages that are unrelated to your previous correspondence. Changes to your email settings that you did not personally authorise, like forwarding rules, filters, or your signature can be another indication that hackers have accessed your email.
