Internet Security

Log Out of Accounts and Close the Browser for better security. Two new instances of hackers taking advantage of individuals who make a habit of leaving email and facebook accounts logged in. One was a facebook account where the hackers posted 2 comments on a wall of a very inappropriate nature. The owner of the account had not been on facebook for several days and was alerted by friends who knew it was not the owners "style" of post. The other was an email account where the entire contact list received a message that the person was in England on vacation and had been robbed of all cash, credit cards, etc. It was a plea for money to be sent to England to pay the hotel bill. Needless to say the person known to all was at home getting phone calls from all their friends. In both cases the person was in the habit of not logging out or closing their browser.
