Use a safer computer. If anyone abusive has access to your computer
he/she might be monitoring your computer activities. Try to use a safer computer
when you look for help, a new place to live, etc. it may be safest to use a computer
at a public library, community center, or internet café.
Change passwords and pin numbers. Some abusers use victim’s email
and other accounts to impersonate and cause harm. If anyone abusive knows or could
guess your passwords, change them quickly and frequently. Think about any password
protected accounts – online banking, voicemail, etc.
