Is There Something Else After Blocking?

Yes, there are a few more things which you should do because Blocking is not enough. You cannot assume that blocking an unknown sender makes you safe. It also helps to block all senders whose messages you don’t want to receive.

Never click blindly- Yahoo mail scans each message automatically for viruses and malware but you cannot expect that it will detect all malicious emails. So, make sure before receiving an unexpected email along with a link or attachment. Think twice and thrice before clicking or downloading a link or attachment. Deleting such an unexpected message is a safe choice.

Never share your personal details- Whether it is one of your best friends or family members, you should never share your password or personal details with anyone.

Report Malicious emails- Instead of blocking unknown senders, you can report them to Yahoo so that they can take action by investigating them. If you ever receive threatening or abusive emails with inapt content, immediately report it and feel safe.

These are a few things that you should keep in mind after blocking a person on Yahoo Mail. Never allow someone to send messages to keep your mail account and information safe and secure.
