I have had another computer and LCD monitor given me for my Linux testing.
Booting it up and looking at the hard drive and the amount of Ram, I noticed the the person had not taken all there data off it even although they may have thought they had !.
It has XP on it (which will soon be wiped
) .
On opening up Internet Explorer it took me strait to there bank account
, then opening up the email browser took me strait into there emails account
.
I did the decent thing and shut the browsers down ASAP.
What shall I do ?. anything ?.
I was thinking on the lines of saying that I had found a virus on there hard drive and think they should change there passwords for all there accounts there safety.
I'm Not going to tell them what I have seen ( and now forgot) .
A good lesson if you are giving away any computer wipe the hard drive or do a fresh install of the operating system.
A downside after repairing the switch on the front of the monitor and then testing it it was quite noticeable that it was scrap as the screen was cracked (I did notice an small scratch on the screen when they gave it ti me but did not think it was much).
