Why does Netscape use random numbers and letters?
Data security. Random numbers and letters make it difficult for hackers to guess which directory you use to store your data. It is unlikely that they can get to your data if they don’t have exact file names and locations. In the event a hacker gains access to your computer, the random numbers and letters provide a safe guard for your personal data. NOTE: Email files can quickly grow very large. Some email programs include compacting or compression utilities. Use of these utilities may help save space in your First Backup account. Close this window.
