Is changing password enough to be safe after opening checking e-mail in a public computer ?

Question

Hey, i generally use my yahoo account in net centres and i really dont trust those people. So, i just check my mail account and then, if i change my password, nobody can gain access to my account right..? i mean, even if someone did hack my ID, and i managed to change my password, he can never again open my ID unless he has my password rite...?

in short, If i open my ID on a public computer and then come home and change the password, i guess i am safe right..?

Thanks!

Answer 1

NO. Never check any personal information on a public computer.

Answer 2

Nope, never do this on a public computer or public wireless access point. You have many many chances to steal your ID.

From the public computer to home you may have a password change and account hijacking, these things happen everyday.

Answer 3

It's never happened to me. In Best Buy when they used to let you use internet, i went on myspace and yahoo account but never been hacked. Didn't even change password so don't worry. But make sure you logged off.

Answer 4

Yes, if you chance your password immediately after using the account, you are safe.

But honestly, if you are that paranoid, you should not be accessing your email from public terminals.
