What does this have to do with leaving your computer on all night? The
hackers can search Google whether your computer is turned on or off. All
they have to do is wait until you turn it on and go online to start
attacking you. Our Tech Assist meaasages are being archived by Google
all the time anyhow, unless they stopped doing it.
This is why I altered the look of my email address in my sig file, to
hopefully keep automatic email sniffers from getting my address.
