Protect yourself from being hacked: Adhere to Fundamentals

hacking prevention

Most of the time computer users have this tendency of accessing the Internet from different locations. Be it an Internet cafe, College Lab, or a friend’s house. Sometimes, sharing computers offers great convenience, but if you do not take extra precautions, you can also fall a victim of Information theft. So Hope the following points will help you protect your account and other personal information while using a shared or public computer system.

Do not check the “Remember my ID on this computer” box

Many sites, including Yahoo!, offer this option. When a computer “remembers” you, it usually sets a persistent cookie on the computer that allows the web site to identify you so you don’t have to sign in. If you check this option, you’ll remain signed in after you close your browser. This is a convenient option if you are the only user of a computer, but if you share a computer, do not check this option.

Never leave a computer unattended while signed-in

If someone uses the computer in your absence, they can easily access your account information.

Always sign out completely

If you use a public or shared computer, it’s especially important to sign out completely. Always click the “Sign Out” link when you are finished accessing your Yahoo! account. [Read more...]
