<p>I’m applying for something and sending it directly to the manager through email. I told my mom about it, and she said that I should have faxed or hand it in person.</p>
<p>Can email really be intercepted? The manager did reply from his Iphone. Now, I am more worried. What if his I-phone is hacked? they will get all my information which includes ssn?</p>
<p>should I worry?</p>
<p>They can, but the odds that someone is going to find you important enough to take the time to hack your email or phreak your phone is astronomical. I think you’ll be fine.
BTW, faxes can be hacked too.</p>
<p>Don’t be paranoid.</p>
<p>Sensitive data CAN be stolen if your manager a really powerful viruse/spyware/malware/anything bad on his computer. But usually people are smart enough to fix their comps.</p>
<p>The data can’t just be snatched out of the air. No one is going to specifically hack his phone. And iPhones are very secure. It is NOT hacked. I would bet my future child on it. They always have updates since they’re always connected to the internet.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be worried. My parents run a law office and client confidentiality is KEY and even they do most of their stuff by email.</p>
<p>could something happen? yes. will it likely happen? probably not</p>
