Security Tip of the Month
Choose "Forget Me' Instead of Remember Me"
How many web sites do you frequently visit that invite you to enable an automatic log on the next time you visit? Don't check that box! When convenience trumps confidentiality, you're asking for trouble. The harder you make it for hackers to follow your trail into an online store or bank account, the better.
