I don't trust the privacy of the internet anymore.
My mother is staying with me for a few weeks while my father is out of town on a hunting trip and yesterday she asked me how Rob is, who is a guy I met online. I am sure I never told her anything about Rob. She has been using my PC for recipes and to look at the Web MD site I thought but now I wonder if she's been looking at my private things. I use outlook express and have the icon on my desktop but I didn't think she knew about this sort of thing. It's not just her, I've received emails with my address in the header and the only place that has that is Paypal. Do any of you have this kind of issues?

I relate to what you're saying. I don't trust Paypal at all or AOL.

I am afraid to send emails altogether. Rob, if you're looking at IAC, I'll leave my Yahoo Messenger on in my room day and night to hear from you, but I'm locking the door when I go out so mom doesn't intercept anything. :)

If you suspect someone of snooping into you email, you can always put mail in locked folders. I don't know how to do that with Outlook express, but most decent wmail client support such a feature.

As to privacy with companies like paypal. Did you ever pay for something with paypal? That needed to be sent to you? If so then that one person who's got you email and address legitmatly, but who might misuse it. I would be suprised if paypal would break privavy as a matter of policy, their business depends on it to much. Hopefully they've got good security.

Sounds to me as if you've been "Keystroked" ... it's a very common occurrence these days .... and it can come from anywhere ...

The way it works is a malicious code has been set up on a computer that reads keystrokes and can detect email addresses that are typed ... It doesn't have to be on your computer, but anyone's ... if they send you an email then the Keystrokes are picked up ... there isn't much you can do about it ... just block the incoming IP from further messages ... usually these are harmless but some companies that sell email list get their list this way ...

It's still safer and less corrupt than the "real" world though ...

I used to pay for IAC through Paypal until IAC abruptly stopped using them. (no explanation given) Now I have to sign up with a Google account which I'm not crazy about doing. How do do other people here pay for IAC?

Google is very easy, I've used it a lot here. It's just as private but I've had tons of problems with Pay Pal.

I don't use paypal. I change my password everytime I use Google pay.

I also don't do any online banking, or bill paying. It seems backwards with the times, but I still feel good about it. Hell, we've had the same Mailman for 20 plus years.

I've also monitored my youngest daughters emails, and myspace. I felt bad, but I also felt worse about why I needed to do so. She's been clean now for 2 years, thank God.

sure it is a place where prudence is quite crucial!
and it's a place with an almost indeletable memory (think of google...)
but then: it's also a place of valuable cultural, scientific, political and friendly exchange :-)

I have reservations about google as well in this regard. Their product is no where as good. No shopping cart, no transparent currentcy conversion. (If you debit card doesn't trade in Dollars and you have no alternate card that does you are stuck)

It's obviously for IAC to decide which company handles their paymants, but I wouldn't use paypal to search the net, and I wouldn't use google to take card payments....

This side of the altlantic I think Paypal has more credibilty, but maybe that's just my opinion.

I think my internet strategy has been to just say everything, be ridiculously open about myself..
for me privacy is about face to face relationships..
A long drive with a friend or whatever..
really though, I've been photographed at political rallies and protests, I got on a local police list years ago that was discovered in an unrelated lawsuit, they had like 20 of "us" and quite a lot of personal information....
there is no privacy, I got photographed going to Mexico last week and photographed again coming back.
there are cameras at every intersection photographing drivers now,,
I suspect we'll have national facial recognition database complete in a few years if it's not already..
I remember a friend of mine who is in security coming home from a conference in Los Alamos back in 1999 and telling me about some of the stuff he saw..
you'd be stunned how easy it is to snoop us now..

there is no privacy online, but really that was sort of the deal we made!
If we get too anxious about internet privacy and give our legislators too much power to deal with it, this whole thing will start to feel like a police state.
on the other hand we have nut jobs stalking children, and identity theft..

really, the thing to do is realize that this is an anarchy, and only participate with that understanding in place...
And educate your kids!!!!.....Kids need to know exactly how visible they really are online.

Remember this Janey.. Whatever is spoken in private is gone the moment it is said but whatever is typed on your computer remains forever.

Outside of that be very thankful we have cameras at border crossings and local police earning their pay.
