[QUOTE="Wave, post: 567694"] Just have a quick tip for you: never give away your e-mail unless you know the person or trust the service. Unless it's a disposable one... How do you know you aren't very vulnerable to social engineering? An attacker can e-mail you and alter the email header to appear as a trusted sender (e.g. someone you may already know), you will probably fall for it and then click a malicious link from within the email. Everyone is vulnerable to social engineering, some more difficult than others. Employees in businesses can be tricked into resetting accounts if you are the confident speaker and know some background info to get their trust on the phone or email (for example). Just don't risk it, it's not worth it. [/QUOTE]
