Beware the bcc: or Watch Your Back with E-mail

E-mail is a wonderful and inexpensive way of sending a postcard that anyone in the entire world can potentially read! Just about anyone with technical savvy could intercept it along its route over multiple servers. They could be nosey, officially spying, downright malicious, or just doing their jobs as managers.

- Rest assured there is only a small guarantee of privacy to e-mail, whether at home or at work. Unless you have permission from someone to encrypt an e-mail, and the tools to do it, a hacker can read anything you write. E-mail can be intercepted by government officials, and most certainly, it can be monitored and read by your company
