One of the simplest ways to protect your email is to activate two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent hackers from gaining access even if they guess your password.
Using an authentication app, like Google Authenticator, can help provide an extra layer of defence.
Removing access to apps and tools you no longer use, at least every few weeks, can prevent vulnerabilities exposing your data.
Preventing images loading in emails from external sources can mitigate risk, as can using a robust spam filter to manage incoming emails.
Blocking attachments from untrusted sources reduces the chance of security threats.
