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.
