The following happened to me recently and I wonder if that could give legal problems:
I have repaired my old notebook, which was broken for over 5 years. Have it turned on and still had access to all my data, so synonymous to stored passwords in the browser, etc.
When I called up the page of the mail provider, I was automatically logged into the email account of my former girlfriend (via a password manager, which does this automatically and still had the corresponding data stored).
Now, as a user, you often get clues about "new login over an unknown IP" (I moved to a distant city, so the IP is definitely different).
But since I'm no longer anonymous for my Verflogene I have then logged off and deleted their data (meanwhile, the computer completely new set up).
But since I know my ex, I know that if she would notice, she would accuse me of hacking her and doing something legal.
Therefore, for me, the question now is whether, if the above case occurs, I could get into legal trouble, or is it more likely that it is your own fault if you do not ensure that your data is not deposited anywhere?
"Hacken" leaves traces she can't just blame you!
and no she has given her password to 3 te (AGB) thus own fault. She could also have changed her password because she should know that it is stored on your laptop. Of course, as long as you did not use that, you did not log out. So everything is easy cheesy
Jo is not that right…
Let's say you lived together… You had a key from the apartment.
in the course of time have imitated a key, because you have never found the old…
and after the separation you gave the friend 1 key back from your apartment.
Short cut short:
You go years later with your replacement key in your apartment, - without her knowledge - without that she wants - then it is finally burglary whether you have broken the door or unknowingly entered the apartment with a key
That's the end effect of the mails as well.
Without her knowledge, without her you have entered a private personal area.
you can only free yourself so that you say that you were just on it, you immediately logged off again and have cleared all passwords…
It was an oversight that you did not provoke or intended, and you did not use any data that you could have received through any emails, etc.
The accusation you would have Hacked them, as far as I can see, not to, the hacking would presuppose an active action in my eyes and not accidentally done simple automatic login via an e-mail account whose content you delete immediately. So I see no reason to act against you legally…
Would something like that happen to me I would try to get in touch and clarify the matter, but I doubt that a lawsuit would succeed here, especially since you have really done nothing to bring any data into experience, etc.
Eh hello? If you have a key you do not automatically go to the apartment without wanting it? With a saved password but already!
Well, that's true, but here would be an active action needed. Logging in the friend's account happened automatically, passively, so without the help of the questioner about the questioner's own notebook and without knowing.
At that time, the girlfriend passed on data to third parties and presumably favors this automatic login. That would be like leaving the door of the apartment completely open, stunning the questioner and rolling it in a shopping cart in the former shared apartment (also fits, because the key or a possible password was not used here by the questioner)
He did not know it was saved and was logged in AUTOMATICALLY.
Haha laughs at me
"and roll it in a shopping cart in the former common apartment" but yes exactly
Even the automatic log in he could - theoretically - prevent.
Then tell us how?
In theory maybe… But that's as far as I know an action with which I, for example. Not familiar. For this reason, he is therefore led by a person charged by the girlfriend, with a bag over his head in the apartment, whose door is open. He has no idea where it goes, may also not know that he could prevent this automatic login (as I as a technology cripple also not) and did not assume that there are still data of the girlfriend on it
What should not be right about that? Stupid enough to save his passwords on another machine, but if he calls the page and she's still logged in, that's not his problem.
Passwords may not be passed on anyway. And as long as she has not banned him to go into the account, he should at any time, since he has the access data and these were provided to him voluntarily.
