Government to Change E-Mails

Week of December 24, 2007

Beginning in January, 2008, all e-mails sent to government accounts will hit the  inboxes in the much safer plain text instead of HTML (HyperText Markup Language). The change will increase security and safeguard against attacks from potential aggressors. Members of the Air Education and Training Commands' enterprise security branch ask you to remember three easy-to-remember tips to recognize suspicious e-mails: (1) if an e-mail looks suspicious, it is suspicious; (2) if an e-mail asks for personal information, it's suspicious; and (3) if an e-mail asks you to take any action you normally would not, it is suspicious.
