Don't keep your computer switched on overnight.

Could you please elaborate on "Don't keep your computer switched on overnight.". Mining is a common case for bitcoiners to leave on their pc over night. Was the idea to not leave on the work pc where the "cleaning lady" might gain access? -- Giszmo 14:42, 28 June 2011 (GMT)

Yes, also you are giving targeted attackers a lot of time to try out different ways to get into your system. --Forever 07:43, 29 June 2011 (GMT)
