When accessing sensitive information on a shared computer, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure that data remains secure. Here are some suggested best practices to ensure safe access:
- Be sure to lock your session when leaving your computer, either automatically or manually.
- Be aware of what information you are accessing, how it is being stored, and who might have access to it.
- Be sure to routinely change your passwords or passphrases.
- Be mindful of what you print, as paper copies of information can easily be lost or stolen.
