How susceptible is a computer to hackers? I have a friend here in France that insists that one is totally unprotected & that someone can enter in even when the machine is off. That sounds crazy to me.
If your computer is turned off it is impossible. He is full of garbage. If
it's just asleep...well that's a whole other story.
I've been told that with RoadRunner or other cable ISPs, your machine can be hacked when not on because the connection is always on. The example of someone using your hard drive for storage of stolen files was cited.
There's no truth to this then?
