The press has some how secured and released e-mails from the South Carolina gov. to his girlfriend. How did his e-mail become public and is that a violation of his privacy. Have you ever sent a e-mail that you wouldn't want made public?

 

[RodnJen]

Yes and YES!

My dad always told me dont send emails or say anything over a phone you dont want anyone else to hear......

 

[ukxpat]

Yes they should be private! I suppose that they justify it by saying that because it was on the work computer it's in the public domain sphss

BULLSH!T

Email conversation is pretty much what nailed Bill Gates on his anti-trust trial with Microsoft.

Apparently it has been reported that someone had access to his e mail. A local paper was receiving his mail forwarded from his e mail address.

FYI it is the law that all companies keep a history of company e mails. In most cases, companies monitor company computers. It is perfectly legal and easy to do. At home, anyone that has access to the computer can put a keylogger on and they are in business. Again, simple to use and easy to do.

So, as someone else already pointed out, if you don't want it public, don't talk about it on the phone and don't write it on the computer. coffee

Your personal email yes. Work email not sure since it's company issued but that does not mean the press should be free publish it.

And if the emails were sent from his office they are a matter of public record.
It's a computer owned by the state.

Anything involving wireless transmission can be monitored.
Right or wrong.

Even encrypted it can be snagged out of the air.
Thats one reason classified stuff goes by courier.

Tom,

Some encryption is next to impossible to decode.

Yes, I bet he wished he had used it!!hand

I used to see the Soviet transmissions gathered at LRR sites in Alaska.
All Top Secret, but nothing that would compromise themselves. Seemed alot of it was to test our abilities. Those Ratheon guys that work the radar used to laugh at the stuff they would get.
But still, NOTHING transmitted is 100% safe, ever.
I have seen the capabilities we have, and there is no reason to think our enemies are less capable at it than we are.

It was cool. The Ratheon techs' would wait at the airstrip with their data in a briefcase chained to their wrist every week. The plane would land and no matter who was on it they had to wait while the courier de-planed. He would meet the tech, like 100 yards from every one else (who could not approach them). They would do their secret handshake and passwords and the courier would accept that case and pass off his with new code info.
When the all clear was given then other passengers would unload or board, then the courier would get back on and leave.
All this on dirt strips in interior Alaska or on the coast in absolute God Forsaken locations. Twin piper planes.
I could tell you a lot more, but I did need clearance for all those jobs. If it can't be Googled, I figure I can't say it!
