Office to Combat Domestic Violence - Computer Safety Warning

Abusers who have computer knowledge may be able to track the Web sites that you visit and the documents that you open on the computer. To look for help, use a safe computer at a public library, a friend's house or at work. If you are sending an e-mail message asking for help, make sure you use an email account with a password that the abuser does not know.


If someone who is abusive to you has access to your computer, you may want to call 311 and ask for the City's Domestic Violence Hotline (800-621-4673, TDD 866-604-5350 ) instead of emailing any organization.
