Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Encryption helps protect your online privacy by turning personal information into “for your eyes only” messages intended only for the parties that need them-and no one else. You should make sure that your emails are being sent over an encrypted connection or that you are encrypting each message.
Detailed explanation-2: -Can hackers see encrypted data? No, hackers cannot see encrypted data, as it is scrambled and unreadable until the encryption key (or passphrase) is used to decrypt it. However, if a hacker manages to obtain the encryption key or crack the encryption algorithm, then they can gain access to the data.
