Important security tips for Gmail/Orkut users.

[A$hok Yadav]

Hi all,

 

These are very important tips for Gmail/Orkut users. Please read carefully.

1. Don't share: Keep your username, password and personal information secret and change your password regularly.
2. Don't script: Never paste a URL or script into your browser while logged into orkut.com, no matter what it claims to do. Don't click on links in emails that claim to be from orkut or Gmail. Scan your computer regularly for viruses, spyware, and adware.
3. Don't spread: Never enter your Google Account login and password on sites other than orkut.com and other Google properties (Many of us did for pimpmysearch.com etc). Never check remember me when you're using a shared computer.
4. Avoid posting sensitive personal data, such as email addresses or pictures, in public places.
5. Don't forget to click the Logout link at the top of the page when you're done using orkut.
