A skilled hacker can gain access to just about anything. Just this week, someone hacked in to my former pastor's address book and sent an email to everyone he had listed in his address book, with a story that he was in London and lost his wallet and could I please wire money to him right away? Had it not been for the terrible punctuations and misspellings in the fraudulent email, I may have considered it. Who knows how that hacker got access to what he/she did.
