Bewareness About Hacking Mails
Email on the internet is now commonly sent by the Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP). This does not encrypt the text of emails and so
intercepted mail can be read easily unless the user adds their own encryption.
The identity of the sender or addressee of an email is not authenticated and
this provides opportunities for abuse such as spoofing. As email has
increasingly replaced traditional post for important correspondence, there have
been several notable cases in which email has been intercepted by other people
for illicit purposes.
Email archives from the Climatic Research Unit were
leaked to create the scandal popularly known as Climategate. Journalists employed
by News International hacked email accounts of celebrities in search of gossip
and scandal for their stories. Individuals such as Rowenna Davis have had
their accounts taken over and held to ransom by criminals who try to extort
payment for their return.
The email accounts of politicians such as Sarah
Palin have been hacked to try to find embarrassing or incriminating
correspondence.Email may be protected by methods such as a strong password,
encryption of the contents or a digital signature. An email disclaimer may be
used to warn unauthorised readers but these are thought to be ineffective.
