I always delete my cookies (especially on a public or shared computer)

FB is the most common social website - I'm sure this warning applies to all sites that have password cookies that aren't secure sign on. Just like Microsoft PC s are targets (and Macs are having slightly more problems too) FB is going to be one of the first mentioned.

It's a good idea not to respond to applications on your friend's sites on FB too. Games and Questions on FB like to gather your info. I prefer to opt out of these third party applications.

Thanks for the website Geoff!

BTW FB has a setting to get security notice of other computers logging on your account - JL 6/8/2011, 2:02 pm
I try to avoid logins on any computer outside my house that is accessible to the public... - Geoff 6/9/2011, 12:25 pm
