Do not include any Social Security numbers in e-mail, And her's why!
You’ve heard of Identity theft! It’s all over the news; Company computers are breached and private information is stolen.
What about you… Are you opening the door to the theft of your own personal information? You should never send an e-mail with social security numbers, income, birthdates, or other personal information!
You see, e-mail does not just go between the sender’s mail box and the intended recipient! Any message sent by e-mail is stored on computers through-out the internet and anyone can view it.
Consider e-mail to be public! If you would rather keep it private then keep it out of e-mail!!!!
