Saucy e-mails provide hacker with recipe for porridge

A Spanish hacker has been jailed for accessing and misusing a former colleague's work e-mails detailing his sexual activities.

The hacker sent the e-mails onto the victim's ex-wife, along with his girlfriend and fellow workers.

The story will come as sobering news to anybody labouring under the illusion that e-mail is a secure form of communication.

Downtime rushed to delete all the salacious fan mail received over the years, but can only assume that a hacker has already stolen and deleted all such content.
