Shining One Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I was with was an IT guy and used brute force to hack into all of my email accounts...even work ones.Your work must have really bad security if it has no protection against brute force attacks. Heck, I'm pretty sure most free email services have protection against brute force now.
jezzika Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Well, the work one wasn't brute force because he was involved in the same company at the time. He was the one who said he used brute force. Every gmail account was hacked and I even got notices from gmail that saying that my accounts had been hacked or compromised. Actually, he turned out to be a pathological liar so maybe he used something else and lied about that. Regardless, he hacked into every account I had. Edited January 11, 2015 by jezzika
Danda Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 It was the last straw for me with a guy I was casually dating about a year ago. We hadn't even been seeing each other that long. I left my phone unguarded with him out of nonchalance, and then found new text messages that had already been read, and immediately after that evening his bizarre push-pull / mixed messages shenanigans just shot through the bloody roof. It was also ironic because he always guarded his phone like he'd go into cardiac arrest if someone else touched it haha. So I suspect their was some projection going on there. To me it comes off like a red flag of the crazies, if they are trying to go through my phone, laptop, etc. So honestly I tend to deliberately leave such things unguarded, since I don't have anything to hide and it can be a good crazy-test.
Ebelskiver Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Well, I definitely leave my phone password protected. Although the inciting incident wasn't any listed above. I'd left my phone charging in the break room at work. Later when I checked FB some one had posted to my account "Wow! Just took the biggest sh##t, must of lost 30 pounds!!!" I can laugh about it now. I keep it password protected because I have a lot of sexy photos on my phone, some with previous lovers. No reason to show those to the new bf, but I like to keep them none-the-less. Hey, I'm not always gonna look hot and sexy. When I'm old it'll be a nice reminder.
ktya Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Well, the work one wasn't brute force because he was involved in the same company at the time. He was the one who said he used brute force. Every gmail account was hacked and I even got notices from gmail that saying that my accounts had been hacked or compromised. Actually, he turned out to be a pathological liar so maybe he used something else and lied about that. Regardless, he hacked into every account I had. Im a network engineer, my former career. I forgot to change my gmail and after breaking up with said ex she seemed awfully informed. When i pressed her if she was checking my email when i figured it out, she gave me some song and dance about installing a "filter" on the internet. Imagine that, what an excuse. "no im not hacking your email. I just installed a filter to monitor all your internet traffic". What logic the insane posess
No Limit Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Eh, no. It's a totally different thing if I say "Hey, look what xy wrote to me" and moments later we laugh over a funny picture, but someone snooping through my phone? Where is the trust that people who are in relationships always talk about?
