Remember the good ol' days of email? Me neither. Let’s face it, traditional email is about as secure as leaving your diary open in a cafe. With rising threats of phishing and data breaches, I can't help but eye my inbox with suspicion.
I've had my share of "Oops" moments with email. Just last week, while trying to forward a meme to Ashley, I almost sent our vacation plans to some random sneaky subscriber list. Talk about a privacy nightmare!
