Hitting the 'unsubscribe' link in emails poses serious security risks, as hackers are increasingly using this method to harvest personal data. Experts estimate that about one in 644 clicks on such links leads users to potentially dangerous websites, increasing the risk of phishing scams and ransomware attacks. To counter these threats, users are advised to use features like Apple's 'Hide My Email' or simply mark unwanted emails as spam, rather than trying to unsubscribe. It's also recommended to create separate email accounts for shopping and newsletters to mitigate risk.
Experts warn that clicking the unsubscribe link can lead to phishing scams and security issues, and there's an estimated one in 644 chance of being directed to harmful sites.
The best defense against these threats is to utilize features like Apple's 'Hide My Email' or to simply mark harmful emails as spam instead of clicking 'unsubscribe.'
