Your Email Address

It goes without saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What is ugly to some is beautiful to others and for those of us that spend time online we realize our vision of beauty can differ from site to site. Ugly sites are always debatable.

Some of the most popular sites that we frequent often are the most ugliest to others. Your bank website, favorite shopping forum, or even your favorite place to get information may be the ugliest site on the web to others. In any case, when we visit our favorite sites we are likely to give our email address over to the company for future updates or information. Stop and think how many times you type in your email address to buy a product, receive email blasts, or log into a site to check your email.

Today, more than ever, many individuals are getting emails from their banks, grocery stores, and other trusted businesses informing them that their information has been comprised. Ugly sites and beautiful sites are both prone to attract hackers on a mission to obtain, exploit, and sell your information. Everything from email addresses to your social security number can be stolen from professional hackers. Regardless of what sites you choose to make fun of, do your best to safeguard your information.
