I'm asking because I wrote that post in the other thread about securing a PC from some guys roommate.
Has anyone ever gotten into your computer or otherwise invaded your privacy?
I think my personal machine (I've had my own machine since I was very young) is my personal space. Besides all my music, media, etc and artwork my drive is sprinkled liberally with porn.
My brother is a real asshole sometimes. He's not a horrible person, he just thinks he knows whats best for everyone. Also, he sometimes tries to make fun of me by telling my/his friends it like cartoon porn. (I wouldn't care since I am a pervert, but he does it without provocation.) So, I don't have a complete record of every time he's made it into my PC but when I was much younger and not at all informed about security (think when Win98 was still new) I have a feeling that he went on and deleted my hentai collection. I'm not sure about that one as I have no proof. A few years later when 2000 was popular I had passworded my machine but my brother called me because he was desperate to burn a disc for a friend but his burner was broken and he needed to leave. After much hesitation I decided to be the nice one and gave him the password. For someone in such a hurry he had time to go thought my folders and leave little 'notepad notes.' (Being a 4chan user you can image my porn wasn't exactly conventional either) A few months later my friend was staying at my place while he was moving from another country and I was at work so my friend was sitting and reading. (This is what my friend reported) My brother walks in and when he sees my friend the he gets a little flsutered and says he needs to check a serial number. My brother looks at the side of the monitor and leaves. There is no visible serial on anything on my desk. Anyway, after the incident in which he left notes I really locked down my machine and to my knowledge he has never been able to get on it again.
