Just Say Logout!

Let's all sign out of our online accounts. Please? Stats show that 64% of internet sites aren't protected against cross-scripting attacks. There are also a bunch of other internet vulnerabilities that hackers can easily exploit. These vulnerabilities are what give hackers their power--loopholes that allow smart, malicious programmers to introduce fiendish code that destroys our data and our sanity. Thankfully, these days we are more conscious of computer security. Many companies and governments invest a lot of money in data protection and data integrity. However, despite these precautions, hackers still tend to get through and cause problems. Signing out of online accounts reduces that risk! I understand that there are virtually no negative consequences for the large majority of internet account users who don't log off. Will you be attacked if you don't sign out of Facebook? No, probably not. But, it only takes that one instance of identity theft to reek havoc in the life of the victim. It doesn't require much effort--just hit the "logout" button and enter your password when you want to open it again. It might save you a big headache in the future.
