They weren't aimed at a port or an airstrip. They were looking for something far more valuable — and far more vulnerable. They found it.

So you signed into your Gmail account at a library or an internet cafe. You finished you work and you leave. It is only later that you realize that you used your Gmail but when leaving, you forgot to sign out. It might be too far to go back and sign out. Some prankster might discover your email open and do something funny about it. Worse still, your personal information might get stolen.

1. Login to your Gmail account.
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom and on the right-hand side you will find a link called 'Details'.
3. Click it.
4. A new window will open, quite similar to the one above.
5. Click on 'Sign out all other sessions'.
6. You're done.
