There has been a lot of hacking and fraud via email, so we need to guard against hacking and fraud via email, in a very easy way, we only need to delete all important documents and data that we store in email. Before we delete important data and documents that we store in email either in inbox or outbox (send), we need to copy or print them first and save them offline in a safe place.
The following are some types of important data and documents in necessary emails that we need to delete:
1. Authentication Data
There are several sites that send passwords and login data, secret questions and answers, etc. via email, there are also many people who store keywords and backup data in email by sending another email of their own.
2. Online Service Notification
We need to remove the registration confirmation link,
password settings (forgot password), privacy policy update notification, although this message does not appear to contain sensitive personal data, it can indicate that you are in contact with an important site such as exchanges, payment processors etc.
3. Private Document Scan
Kinta often scans documents such as identity cards, driving license cards, passports, tax payment invoices etc. and we send these documents via email, if you will need this document again, before it is deleted you need to download it first and save it in an encrypted place.
4. Personal Data
Personal data such as resumes or curriculum vitae, cover letters and other documents also really need to be deleted.
5. Sensitive Business Documents
Much of the company's data and documents are sent via email, which can be exploited by hackers or attackers. Sensitive company data and documents such as financial statements, employee data, business partners etc.
6. Never click on links in your inbox and spam folders asking for password changes, policy updates, especially from wallets and exchanges, because most of these links are phishing.

Interesting read. Indeed email accounts are a vital tool to keep in check. Hackers use it to perpetuate their evil act simply because most people do not know how to secure their email accounts. I also believe that if we set our passwords correctly, and by correctly I mean making it super difficult to decode, using 2factor authentication, etc we can secure it from hackers. Thanks for enlightening us about way to properly manage our email accounts.
