[kictanet] FB accounts compromised

[Daniel Mbugua]

Hi Ikua,

Thanks for the warning.

Sometimes the hack can be as simple as viewing saved passwords on the
browser. This applies to Chrome and Mozilla Firefox plus a few others.

So to prevent this hacking while using public or personal computers, please
memorize the password instead of saving it on the browser.
