⚠️ Without a solid lock on your mailbox, attackers can send, modify, or redirect your emails like a rogue postman! 📬 Think of your email system as a post office without a secure verification process. If there's no one checking IDs at the door, anyone could walk in, send fake letters, or even change the contents of your mail before it gets to the recipient. An attacker could easily impersonate you, sending messages that look authentic but carry malicious content. This could lead to misinformation, data breaches, or even financial losses as your trusted communication gets hijacked.
