PAC Security

I was on a public accessible computer the other day as I occasionally am. I always check to see if anyone allowed their login info to be saved by the browser. I was shocked to find two! The second guy should have seen that his info might be saved. (I often skip the message box prompting the user to save.)

After reviewing their email, I logged out and deleted their saved logins.

I was tempted to email them and explain the security risk but I didn't want to get in trouble.
