perdiemparalegals asked:


If I send a password protected document such as Word or Excel, but it is NOT encrypted, is it possible for someone to intercept it and open it without the password?
I am looking into this because I am a paralegal and by law have to make sure no one can intercept client info. See my other question at

For instance, what about removing the qbw file for Quickbooks from the computer?

John N asked:


I want to know if there is a safe secure email service that I can use with confidence. I would like to send and receive information such as medical and other personal info.

I notice that msn or hotmail has HTTPS in the address bar. Does the ‘S’ mean it is secure and good enough?

Drizzle asked:


I need to send some confidential documents. What would be the most secure way to send the documents electronically?

I’d be sending the email through webmail with https enabled. But wouldn’t be sure how secure the other end would be.

andrewfromfly asked:


Take any site like e*trade or bank of america, etc. and they all do a good job of using https and never sending your password in clear text… but… if you forget your password they will send recovery instructions to your email account. Your pop3 email username and password IS sent in clear text right? So, couldn’t someone get my email password, and use it to get the password reset instructions for my e*trade account?

I have been advised by some online stores that do not have a secure server that I can send my credit card number to them in pieces via two or three emails, and they will put it together and charge my account.

Is this safe? What are the risks? Couldn’t a hacker just monitor those sites and put the numbers together as well?

Thanks

AndrewG asked:


I have just sold an item through craigslist. The person I sold it to was male, but the name on the paypal account is female and has a different address than the one he provided. Is this person possibly using a stolen paypal account, or did he have his girlfriend send me the money?
How should I go about dealing with this situation? I have considered contacting the woman who owns the account, but am at a loss as to how to proceed.

I’ve saved an email that I sent to myself, listing all of my important online banking and debit info, with the sole exception of my PIN. The email account is not secure.

Is this a dangerous idea?
Enough said! I’ve already deleted the email.
