Sara is using her personal laptop (which is password protected)
at a “hotspot” at a local cafe with wifi access. She is in the middle
of placing an online order when friends arrive and she stops her work to visit.
What is her best (and most convenient) way to protect the PII that she has
already entered (she has only logged onto a site with her ID and password and
put some items in her basket for purchase)?
·
Exit all programs
and shut down the computer.
·
It is okay to stop
her work and leave the site open. Since she has not yet arrived at the Pay
information, her credit card information or pay type has not been entered.
·
Close the lid on
the laptop. In most cases this will put the computer in hibernate mode (closes
programs and shuts down the computer. All the programs and web pages that were
open will restart when the laptop is opened again.). Some information might be
lost on the order page, but that is safer than exposing her PII.
