I am not one of the lucky ones whom get internet access at work......
There are computer terminals everywhere, I have lotus notes account for email and access to the intranet…
I was recently given by a colleague a user name and password for access to the internet, when I asked who’s was it he replied he didn’t know just use it wisely…
There must be 40,000 employees with my company so I thought “what the hell”
There are computer terminals everywhere in my company and everyone can log on at each terminal..
I logged on to my regular terminal in the office today and thought I would try the internet access I was given and “yippee it worked fine”….
Problem I found was when I logged out of the system and logged back in again I could access the internet without being prompted for username or password….
I was horrified and logged in as a regular user open to every single employee at team member level, I found out that they could also connect to the internet at this particular terminal !!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only have I accessed an account I shouldn’t have but left the avenue wide open for anyone who uses this terminal…..
Access to many features of the operating system is limited to our computer department….., I think I have after many attempts changed the system to requesting password for accessing the internet…
Can anyone suggest how to change the settings so that I can log online each time with this username and password and the details are not stored for all to use (ps.. I did not click remember password box)
A close call
