Scammers Can Collect All Your Data
We all have lots of private information in our email accounts. Whether it’s media, private emails, or financial data, there’s a lot in there that you probably don’t want other people looking at — especially random cybercriminals.
If someone can access all that information, they’ll almost certainly find a way to use it for evil purposes. That could be as simple as selling email addresses to third-parties or it could be using that information to harm you in some way. Either way, it’s best to avoid these problems from the get-go.
