What are two security risks of sending confidential files via e-mail?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Sending an e-mail containing confidential files is a security risk for a few different reasons. To begin with, e-mails are sent between various servers. Every server an e-mail is sent to saves a copy of the e-mail, which can then be read by third parties. Some computer viruses can automatically use a person’s e-mail service to send those personal e-mails to anyone. If a user has a web-based e-mail account, the login and password can be cracked and all the messages a person has sent or received at that e-mail address may be accessed.
