Google Mail Account Security Tips
The official Gmail blog has published five security tips to improve the security of a Gmail account. Email security should be one of the top priorities for a number of reasons but especially because other accounts are usually associated with an email account. Just think of all the websites and services that require users to signup with an email address. If an attacker gets access to an email account it would theoretically be possible to request new passwords for those accounts leaving those accounts wide open to the attacker as well. Other options include sending out spam and phishing emails to the contact list or strangers.
