Often wondered how private, private messages are. I presume the Gardai can only see them if they have a search warrant, but otherwise, that they are private.

Well whoever owns/manages the server can see what they want.
The only protection you have is the privacy policy of a company based in Spain. Take that whatever way you please (eg use a throwaway email address and don't have any personally identifying information anywhere near here).
EI mangers / mods can read your pms when they want. Was told that .
Remember your IP address is registered to your real name so if some one found out!!! Well
When you register here use a free wifi if you can
Not exactly true there willie, with the shortage if IP space these days most ISPs use a technology that can have many people effectively sharing an IP. And free wifi is good so long as, of course, the device you're using was bought for cash and NEVER used on your home network.
And while an ISP would log you're network activity it's not like Joe Public has access to that information, so unless you're up to something illegal enough to warrant a warrant you've nothing to worry about - and if you are then slap it up you.
The only possible leak of info would be if your ISP assigns you your own (possibly static) IP address that could contain your ISP username in the host address, but that's easy enough to check from plenty of free ip lookup sites.
TL;DR Say nothing in private that you don't want public, don't do illegal shit.
The whole hack/breach thing is what makes me so paranoid here. If Sony can have a data breach a little site like this is just a vulnerable - I'm sure the press would be all over a list of email addresses since you can be certain there'll be a few work email addresses in the mix!
As for PMs, mods, who knows, but if you control the actual physical server hardware you can read what you want, delete what you want and even edit what you want.

To be honest I was the biggest troll of the lot :D
It was fun to have someone in their forties spitting fire with rage that I 'outed' their identity that they were going to sue me right here right now: so I'd point out that if you read the user agreement you'd see I added a line that says all your data belongs to me and I'm 15 so go for it :lmao: Fun times indeed.
Especially since so few escorts ever answer anyway ;)
That's not how it works though. All the major breaches are either chance social engineering (that can happen anytime but can be 100% stopped by good staff training) or a new vulnerability being found in the platform and exploited before a patch can be applied. It's all a matter of timing on the latter given the number of major vulnerabilities across all platforms in the last few years that have been discovered, it's a constant battle.
Never send pm's
The best hacking tools out there are made by Security engineers and are made freely available, The very people who safeguard systems on the internet from hackers. Strange but that's how they keep ahead of it and keeps them in a job too I guess.
Ive been to Dallas, after having seen so many documentaries I imagined it a bit further away.
the street is quiet close to the window he has been shot from.
No need to worry, just mitigate the potential fallout. Yahoo is in the news right now we're waiting on them to confirm 200 million accounts being breached. Now, when the list [of email addresses and passwords] goes public, and they always do someone could look for any @yahoo.ie accounts and try them here since you can log in with an email address. Lesson to be learned is use a different password on every service, and consider using a password manager like lastpass to keep you from having to remember a ton of different random passwords.
Whenever a breach like that happens all the "hacking" that follows is people using the leaked email addresses and passwords randomly on different websites because most people are daft enough to reuse the same password everywhere. Any yes I'm speaking from experience after a game service had a breach a few years ago. Trust me, it's a hell of alot easier to set up a password manager NOW rather than after your email address and standard password are out there, and some bastard in Brazil logs in and changes the password on other sites before I get a chance to :angryfire:
I notice that the Mods have refrained from commenting on the pm issue. Why?
Unfortunately you've also got large organisations like the NSA hoarding unknown quantities of exploits. Every time a security firm delivers a patch for a known vulnerability someone in Fort Meade makes a sad face and crosses off another avenue of attack from their list of 'unknown' vulnerabilities.
What I was talking about.

It can happen anywhere, I wonder what E-I's policy is on going public when a data breach happens given it took Yahoo 2 years to come clean.............
Well, at least the connection to and from the foreign companies' server residing in a foreign data centre is secure ;)

Notting safe now
Just a click away
Is that you edward snowden?
Is this me.
:D
ya can't send used panties via email.....yet.
You can always blame one of those degenerate hackers living in their mammys basement.
Even though, we're clearly the degenerates.

Blue eyes I have sent you a PM please read it and stay on topic on the thread you are on.
Thanks
Steve
can any of the mods can tell us whether pm's are private or not.Please.
