Add direct messaging and website contact forms and the number of people communicating over the internet increases even more. We all like to think that the messages we send are not private, but that is not always the case.\n\nProblem: Sending Data Over the Internet is Not Secure\nMany people don\u2019t know that sending sensitive data over email is not a secure practice. Email is an inherently insecure method of communication, and it is easy for hackers to intercept and read emails that are not encrypted. If you need to send sensitive data over email or direct messaging, it is recommended to use encryption to protect the data from unauthorized access.\n\nThere are several ways to encrypt email messages, including using S\/MIME encryption, Microsoft 365 Message Encryption, or email encryption software. This may sound complicated, but a password-protected or time-sensitive program allows you to easily encrypt data.\n\nSolution: Encrypted Messaging Tool\nIf you need to send private data like login information or your Social Security Number to a trusted recipient, a tool such as PrivateBin provides a secure way to send your data. \n\nSet an expiration date between 1 day and 1 month to prompt the message to self-destruct, allow a one-time view, or set a password necessary to read the message.\n\nHow to Use PrivateBin\nNavigate to the tool\u2019s website and add text to the Editor window. \nChoose an expiration time.\nOptional: Choose the burn after reading, add a password, or attach a file.\nClick the Send button, then copy the URL and email or send it to the recipient through messaging.\nDo you have questions about keeping your messages and website secure?
