Is your email secure?

The internet has democratized knowledge, fostered globalization, eliminating barriers of time and space, and brought new opportunities. But amidst all these advantages, there are various dangers. After several years of experience in the online world, we know that there are always phishing schemes and hackers looking to take advantage of us and our distractions. Whereas before these scams came in the form of a simple email with unbelievable offers in exchange for registering on a website, they have evolved significantly and are increasingly difficult to recognize.

Most people use Gmail or another online email service that usually has access to a cloud with photos, documents, passwords, and even stored credit cards. Well, all of this is very convenient until we suffer a cyber attack and someone gains immediate access to all that precious information.
