It’s important to consider protecting your ID and internet identity when using public internet access at places like internet cafes, public librarys, college campuses, airports and other internet terminals.
A few precautions to take are:
Most login pages have a “save your login” option…Do Not check this option.
Prevent others from viewing your history by deleting ‘temporary files’
Don’t walk away from the screen leaving sensitive information in view.
Avoid typing in vital information. Theres always a small chance someone has installed ‘keylogger’ software on the internet terminal.
Be aware of those around you who may be watching your online activites over your shoulder.
Taking a few common sense precautions can help preserve your internet peace-of-mind.
