with Colin Fyfe of Colcom<br />

I was not particularly surprised<br />

recently when EE pulled the plug on all<br />

the Wanadoo, Freeserve and Orange email<br />

accounts that they acquired through business<br />

acquisitions over the years. I was quite surprised<br />

at the cack-handed way in which they did it though. One of my customers<br />

was given no warning before the lights went out on their email.<br />

I always recommend a move away from an ISP’s mail platform. It will<br />

come as no surprise to some of you that I recommend Gmail as your<br />

primary email provider, this advice is also being touted by EE to their own<br />

customers so it’s not just me. For those of us that want secure, end to<br />

end encrypted email of the type the governments of the world will need<br />

to struggle that little harder to monitor, try Tutanota, a free email service.<br />

They have an app for mobile too.<br />

Email encryption is only ever as robust as the security methods you<br />

employ on logging into your mailbox. Most of the main email providers<br />

now offer multi factor authentication. This will prompt you for more<br />

security information on logon or will detect what device you are using<br />

and will challenge a potentially fraudulent user that wants to access your<br />

account.<br />

Your email address and your account information is valuable and sensitive<br />

to fraud. Given how much we depend on our email as a de facto first point<br />

of contact with our service providers, and as online fraud has advanced<br />

recently, so security is becoming more important every year. Remember<br />

that you are carrying the torch for the contacts you have too, as they will<br />

be targeted on a successful data breach of your account.
