| If you wish to have privacy useing your e-mail
wouldbe the last thing you should use. E-mails are very insecure and can be read by just
about anyone. Your e-mail can be tracked and even read weeks after you have sent them. All
it takes is a hacker to find your e-mail in a archive and open it. Q)Can web sites really track me? A lot of web sites record your visits when you enter their site. That means operators know the hostname and IP address of your computer. They can also find out what type of computer you have as well your browser and the last site you visited. This means it is possible that they can determine your e-mail address. After your personal information is obtained using a little JavaScript there are a number of sources including directories to find your name, e-mail address and other valuble information. Q)Is it possible for web sites to get my e-mail address? Yes web sites track you by putting cookies on your computer. These are text files to
find out what your interests are. This is how sites know what previous site you have been
to. Java Script is a security risk because it can be used to capture your submission forms
and redirect them to a unknowingly third party. |
