What needs doing today, and what does not
Tell the bad click that needs an hour tonight from the one that needs nothing at all, and find the rule a fraudster leaves behind.
You will be able to tell the bad click that needs an hour tonight from the one that needs nothing at all, and find the rule a fraudster leaves behind.
Key points
- Tell what needs an hour tonight from what needs nothing at all
- Check for the forwarding rule that gets left behind
- Recognize that the shame is a tool, and refuse to be quiet for three days
What to remember
- Four of these need an hour. Three need nothing. Knowing which is which is what stops a bad afternoon becoming a bad month.
- Somebody who gets into an email account often leaves a forwarding rule behind. Changing the password does not remove it — you have to go and look.
- If this has happened to you, how did it leave you feeling?
Try this
Look in your own email settings for Rules or Forwarding, tonight, with nothing wrong. Almost certainly it is empty — and knowing where that page lives is the whole value of having looked.
