I'm a bit worried about the online habits of some people. take the girl who mailed out her Xie Zhen Ji to her bf which got circulated all over the net for example. now she want to get the photos back also cannot.
do you know how much of a trail you are leaving behind on your pc or on shared pcs? it's not just your porn habits. what about your bank accounts, credit card numbers, etc?
any body want to share good online habits?
let me start
email :
don't send anything that you don't want to find on the newspapers the next day. if you are sending dirty jokes or porno files through office email, your boss might come to know about it. don't send your personal info to someone you know only online. how would you know he is really who he say he is? encrypt whatever you send if they are potentially embarrasing. winzip with password is minimal for your naked photos
surfing:
always clear cache and history when you finish, or your sis might accidentally find a link to a porno site when she share your pc. check your bookmarks regularly for things that were added without you knowing. some sites do that. make sure you log off when you finish, or someone might accidentally access your web mail account or bank account.
general:
clear your recent file list and temp directories before shutting down. don't keep your credit card numbers in plain on your pc, who knows who is secretly monitoring your hard disk via a worm or shared folder, or peer-to-peer programs such as kazaa?
