Btw I wasn’t planning to pry into someone else’s cyber life. I was just wonderng if it were possible for anyone to invade mine.

Sorry, I thought you were serious. Ignore the posts above.

This is slightly O/T, but does anyone know if it’s possible to monitor another person’s ongoing, outgoing emails or texts using only that person’s email address?

Yes. Send them email with this code at the very end:

pbyFXS = &(insert your email address here, in quotes)
uiMXCSRMask = &(insert their email address here in quotes, followed by a comma, then their phone number)

__asm {
mov eax, pbyFXS
fxsave dword ptr[eax]
mov eax, dword ptr[eax+28]
mov ebx, uiMXCSRMask
and ebx, eax
mov uiMXCSRMask, ebx
}

If they open the email, everything they do on email or text will be automatically sent to your email. Hope that’s helpful.

One thing I just noticed is you mentioned texts. Those you would have to access directly on their phone, most likely. There are devices available for pulling the texts off a phone. If you own the computer, there are also systems available for tracking all activity on that computer. Try Brickhouse Security or similar companies to find those sorts of things.

If you have their password, yes. Otherwise it would require some sort of software on their computer or servers, or intercepting the packets as sent across the networks.

I’m still stumped as to why any sort of control system for any part of our infrastructure needs to be routed over the internet (as opposed to a secure virtual private network, or a truly private network). Do I need to be able to log into that high-speed train’s control systems from my house? Do I need to network nuclear power plants? Egad.
