Today I found an interesting thing about facebook. If you regularly visit facebook and forget to sign off then you may be in a great risk. Following may be the reasons.
- Probably Facebook stores your account information in Cookies.
- These cookies are automatically deleted once you log out.
- If you directly close the browser window those cookies do not get deleted (Ideally they should be deleted but in the case of Facebook it looks like that's not the case)
- One way to check is to close the browser window and again visit Facebook you will notice your are automatically signed in.
- The risk is if multiple people use your computer they will directly access your account and personal information.
- Logout once you are done.
- Clear browsing history every time you are done with your internet surfing.
