Sending me sensitive information
passwords or charge info? read this!
Dear client,
I am concerned with the security of your information — the really touchy stuff, like login information and passwords and credit card data.
So please do not send that to me in an email. Emails are not considered secure. All sorts of nefarious folks can scan them (if they wish) while they’re en route from your email program to mine.
Instead, do one of these three easy, much safer things
- Send me a letter by post. If time is not an issue, or if you’re returning your hosting sign-up form, this works fine.
- Write the information in a Word or TextEdit or Notepad document (in a nice big font size). Use some easy screenshot software to take a picture of the information and save it as a JPG or GIF or PNG and email me the graphic.
- If we’ve set up a shared DropBox folder, tuck it in there.
