computerweekly.com — One day Lucy began to suspect that Ricky was being unfaithful to her, and reading his email confirmed her suspicion. She never told him that she was intercepting his email, and he never suspected that's how she discovered his infidelity. Even after their divorce, she still keeps tabs on him by reading his email: he still doesn't know.

"Even after their divorce, she still keeps tabs on him by reading his email: he still doesn't know."Wow, so she's a cyber-stalker.. reading them before, fine he got busted, etc. But after they aren't together, that's just weird and probably criminal.

@threepio - Just a bright ray of hope to counter your forecast of doom.. half of marriages do NOT end in divorce. The number is closer to 30% for the general population and 20% for college grads. <a class="user" href="http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/divorce.htm">http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/divorce.htm</a> <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce</a>

But I thought Lucy was banging Cyrus to make Ricky jealous? Better get Julian and Bubbles.

30+ Characters? Uppercase, lowercase, symbols, numbers. Overkill? You don't say. The longest passwords are the funnest ones to get, because the people think they're more secure but really it doesnt matter if ur password is 10,000 random wingdings, type it in once into a hardware keylogger and its over.

Note that that's 30% of marriages fail -- NOT 30% of people ever married are divorced. (Hint, divorced persons are often married/divorced multiple times.)

@VeamonYes, because people don't actually do anything interesting. Ever.

Yup. Similar here. She had just started using Trillian and it was saving a copy of all her IMs. Well, things started getting weird between us a couple months after getting together, and eventually, a series of events led me to doubt her.So one day, while on her computer, I checked her IM logs with one guy who was always hanging around and who lately, she had been blowing me off to hang with (claiming that he had just been broken up with and needed someone to talk to).Sure enough, there was a mass of IMs back and forth of them talking about things they'd done (while she and I were together) and stuff they wanted to do.Believe me, I paid for what I did. I had to read those IMs. And I read them a number of times because my mind just couldn't wrap itself around the two of them being together. That was my punishment for snooping.I let her go pretty lightly though. I had access to her AIM account, 3 of her email accounts, and had in my possession some nude pictures of her. I could've destroyed the bitch. But I'm better than that.So who wants pics? ;)

reminds me of an ex ... he had the same password from the early 1990s to 2001. so i had fun occasionally reading his emails even when we were apart ...

Whoa! Sounds like this guy most definitely deserved to be caught, but he must have been shocked when he found out that his wife was intercepting his email. I work for a software company that produces email security software that prevents your email from being intercepted, and it sounds like this sucker could have used it. I'll be honest, I'm kind of glad he didn't have it, but if any of the rest of you would like to check it out it does protect things other than adulterous emails, such as credit card info, social security numbers, medical records, and anything else you might not want the world to see.
