Security Awareness


Best Practices for Avoiding Spam

  1. Never disclose your e-mail address on untrusted Web sites, social networking sites, or discussion forums.
  2. Use a separate e-mail address for newsletters, forums, and chat.
  3. If you need to specify your e-mail address consider including it in an image or spell out your e-mail address including the “@” symbol and “.”.
  4. Set up filters in your mail box to block spam e-mails. Consider installing an Anti-Spam software to reduce the number of spam e-mails.
  5. Do not reply to spam e-mails.
  6. Do not contact the spammers or buy anything from them.
  7. Do not subscribe to newsletters on untrusted Web sites.
  8. Do not use the unsubscribe link to unsubscribe from newsletters. Instead, set up your filter to recognize the e-mail as spam by blacklisting the sender.
  9. Always ensure that the address of the Web site does not appear to be suspicious to avoid falling prey to phishing.
