highly secure, but if you do not check the security features carefully, you may be at risk for the following.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<ul>\n \t<li><b>Account hijacking<\/b><\/li>\n<div>Accounts can be hijacked through ID and password leaks or snooping, allowing a malicious third party to see the information shared.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n \t<li><b>Password Breach<\/b><\/li>\n<div>If you use a predictable password, your password can be breached and allow others to log in.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n \t<li><b>Leakage of information due to misdirection<\/b><\/li>\n<div>Sending a message to the wrong recipient or group can result in the leakage of personal or confidential information.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n \t<li><b>Information leakage due to lack of employee
