How to NOT Get Your Email Hacked

Never transmit STDs - Software Transmitted Diseases I came up with this saying over 10 years ago. And today it's more relevant than ever thanks to Google Docs. Fortunately there are some simple rules I'd like to share and please feel free to pass this along. The rule is simple - NEVER click on a link emailed to you unless you can absolutely verify it is legitimate. Sub rule 1: If the email with link is from a business like your bank or from any online account you might have - Go directly to that website instead of clicking on the link in your email. Sub rule 2: Tell friends, family and colleagues not to send you emails that look phishy. If they must share something over email ask them to at least write a sentence or two along with the link to show that the email is legitimate. Sub rule 3: DO share with everyone these rules.
