Checking the “Keep me signed in” box on public PCs
How to protect yourself:
–NEVER, ever, check the “keep me signed in” box if you’re not using your personal laptop or home desktop
–Be careful with work computers. Your office PC might feel “yours” but others can easily snoop when you’re away from your desk. They could do something as simple as forward all your messages to their own private email account
–If you just signed IN to Google, eBay, Amazon or other site from a public PC, make sure to sign OFF once you’re done
–Delete your browser history from the browser tools when completed to protect your privacy
–Using your browser’s privacy mode while browsing prevents information such as the websites you visited from being stored. Internet Explorer 8 calls it “InPrivate Browsing” and Google Chrome calls it a “New incognito window”
–Never save passwords even when prompted to do so by your browser because someone else using your computer later would have access to your accounts
