There are many places where email messages can be intercepted in transit. This document has attempted to outline only the most pervasive of access points into the overall network, but the Internet is a highly dynamic and rapidly changing physical environment and thusly Internet traffic will, for the foreseeable future, be subject to multiple points of attack in transit. The points of attack have all been illustrated from the standpoint of the message sender, but it is important to note that they all exist on the recipient’s side as well.

There is no way to stop people from intercepting your email messages. The only thing you can do to protect the privacy of your messages is to encrypt those messages so that, if intercepted, they cannot be read and will be of no use. This is the nature of the Internet

WOW

Wow who would have ever thought?

I think maybe these kind of people have too much time on their hands, if they feel the need to intercept my emails to my mom or my friends. Let us face it we are not discussing national security here. My emails mainly focus on when I will be dropping by for dinner or did I get the oil changed in my car. Boy that is an interesting read I am sure. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!



I just find the whole thing a little disturbing. Goodness. It is good to remember you may not be the only one reading our emails, you are so right. Thanks for the good post.
