YOUR ABUSER CAN TRACK YOUR ONLINE ACTIONS!
Find
out more about it.
If you are currently being stalked or abused, we recommend that you use
a computer that your abuser does not have access to - at a public library,
a trusted friend's home, or an Internet cafe.
The SAFEST thing to do if you are currently being abused or stalked is
to use a computer you abuser does not have access to.
HOW AN
ABUSER CAN DISCOVER YOUR INTERNET ACTIVITIES
E-MAIL: If an abuser has access to your email account, he or she
may be able to read your incoming and outgoing mail. Be sure to check
your "Sent Mail" folder and delete any messages you do not want
your abuser to see. If you believe your account is secure, make sure you
choose a password he or she will not be able to guess.
If an abuser sends you threatening or harassing email messages, they may
be printed and saved as evidence of this abuse. Additionally, the messages
may constitute a state or federal offense. For more information on this
issue, contact the District Attorney in your county or your local United
States Attorney's Office.
HISTORY/CACHE FILES: If an abuser knows how to read your computer's
history or cache file (automatically saved web pages and graphics), he
or she may be able to see information you have viewed recently on the
internet. You can clear your history or empty your cache file in your
browser's settings.
