Ride The Lightning: NEW YORK SAYS WIFE MAY USE HUSBAND'S E-MAILS AT TRIAL. The biggest security risk in computer use continues to be the human brain, or lack thereof. She Who Must Be Obeyed reads this blog; but, I have no fear that she will gain useful intelligence from this post, in the unlikely event that she decides, in the future, that my disobedience justifies my dismissal from the marital bliss that we now share. This guy actually gave access to his email account to his wife, and failed to change the access password after their separation. The post doesn't disclose who left whom; but, I suspect she left him for being stupid, but I digress. This New York ruling, holding that access to stored email does not violate interception statutes, highlights that computer security depends more on human action or inaction than upon techniques for breaking in where information is intended to be secure. In other words, lock the door and make it more difficult for the burglar to get in. And, after your wife leaves you, change the locks.
