How hard is it to hack the personal information of users on forums such as this? A friend on another board had their personal info hacked.

Thanks in advance.

Deleting System 32 will show you your personal information.

NOTE: Don't do this.

As a WAN admin you should already know the answer to this question. Someone would essentially have to know your password, guess your password, or have access to the machine where the cookie is stored. So either logout when you're done (if it's a publicly accessible machine) or use a harder password.

For the youngins, WAN is Wide Area Network. Think of a business or college campus with multiple buildings that are all linked together.
