Hacking and eavesdropping what is the difference

[desA]

I suspect it depends on who catches you...

So here is a question: If your wife steals your password and reads the SMS that you sent to your girlfriend: Is it hacking or eavesdropping?

...and then If the wife does a Bobbit manoeuvre on you using a blunt wood saw, would it be considered to be "a justified hacking job" ?

Adrian this sounds a bit close to the bone.
Care to share?

You are very observant Ian, let's just say that I have learned over the years to never use hackable communication methods for private communications. I've had to teach my eldest daughter about not leaving evidence because her younger sister would revel in reading and commenting on her private email.

It pisses me off when my wife snoops around on my phone and finds watsap messages from my girlfriends. I have managed to stop this now by blocking them so they cant send messages, but now they call or sms and the wife jumps on every beep my phone makes. What's the world coming to when an honest man cant even have girlfriends on the side without the wife knowing

Maybe she's worried that it is boyfriends PMB

Use two cell-phones. Hide the private one.

Good one Ian

I watched the movie Memphis Belle again the other night. In the movie they fly into Germany to do a bombing run but they find that the target is obscured by clouds. The pilot then makes a big deal about not killing civilians so they go around and do the run over again to be sure that they only hit the target and no civilians. Of course they are very proud of themselves to have risked life and limb to repeat the run to save the civilians.

Of course as we all know they simply dumped Napalm indiscriminately all over Vietnam and dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. I can just imagine one pilot asking the other "Hey Jim, where shall we drop the bomb?" and the other pilot responding "Just as long as it doesn't fall directly on a woman or child my conscience is clear...the collateral damage is not my problem"

A conscious decision was made by Britton and the US to purposefully bomb civilians as part of total war in Germany, with the purpose to destroy German morale. Dresden being a prime example where 25000 people died. As you know Memphis Belle is pure propaganda to try and save face, so are many other American war movies.

It cannot be honest if you have to hide it, can it?
