E-mail is not a secure communication channel. Because it is a widely used form of communication and is usually provided by legitimate sources (AOL, MSN, Yahoo!), many people mistakenly believe that they can share personal information in an e-mail because it is private and secure. In fact, that is not the case. Identity thieves have ways of monitoring e-mail messages to purloin pieces of personal information that can assist their criminal activity.
