Good morning Skunks,<div><br></div><div>I am reading an article in The Guardian where a cracker admits hacking an email address</div><div><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/mar/13/phone-hacking-panorama-names-journalist">http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/mar/13/phone-hacking-panorama-names-journalist</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The hacker shares his technique</div><div><br></div><div><div><b>The hacker – whose name cannot be revealed for separate legal reasons – confessed his role and added: &quot;It weren&#39;t that hard. I sent you an email that you opened, and that&#39;s it ... I sent it from a bogus address ... Now it&#39;s gone. It shouldn&#39;t even remain on the hard drive ... I think I programmed it to stay on for three months.&quot;</b></div>
</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m wondering would you have to open the email AND install the rogue programme or is simply opening and reading an email that has the rogue programme attached to it be enough?</div><div>As in you send me an email to my gmail account, I open the email, do not install anything but you get access to the account?</div>
<div>Possible?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>D</div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br>Ni Wakati!
