Most asked
Safety questions, answered.
Short answers for the decisions people make before they post, watch, buy, clean up, reply, or lock something down.
Q.01
How do I spot phishing?
Check sender domain, link destination, urgency, attachment type, grammar, account context, and whether the request makes sense outside the email.
Q.02
What if I clicked?
Disconnect if needed, change passwords from a clean route, revoke sessions, scan devices, and report the message.
Q.03
Do tracking pixels matter?
They can show opens, location hints, and device context. Blocking remote images is a practical privacy upgrade.
Q.04
When should I encrypt email?
Use encryption for sensitive documents, legal or financial information, credentials, and anything that should not travel as plain text.
