A method embodied in a daemon resident on a server provides for notification of a client when a new session is initiated with respect to the client's private account. Assuming that a user is able to log onto the server and gain access to the client's account, the daemon checks if the client has requested notification and if so, formats e-mail alerts and distributes them to requested e-mail addresses on, for instance, local computers, cell phones, PDA and other receivers of e-mail traffic. Should the client discover, by receiving one of these e-mails that an impostor client has gained access to the client's account, the daemon is able to close down the sessions selected by the client and cancel the current password in favor of a temporary new password available only to the client.
