Cyber-Bob's Cyber Safety Tip #128 — Protecting Your Email Account

https://youtu.be/i6VUF1e4wdU

In Cyber-Bob’s Cyber Safety Tip #128, Bob The Cyber-Guy explains why protecting your email account is so important. Password resets, security alerts, banking notices, shopping receipts, healthcare messages, and personal information often pass through email. If a scammer gets into your inbox, they may be able to unlock far more than just your messages.

Bob covers simple, practical steps to help keep your email safer, including strong unique passwords, two-factor authentication, recovery options, fake login warnings, and why you should never share verification codes with anyone who contacts you.

Your inbox deserves a good lock — and maybe a deadbolt too.

Stay safe, stay secure, stay curious — and remember my friends, you’re never too old to outsmart a scammer. 👋
