Hi guys,

If i am on a school network (accessing internet in school dorm), and i have all the sharing functions unchecked, would it still be possible for people to access informations from my computer? specifically files and such.

Or so i heard that, unless the "hacker" is physically at your computer with yoru passwrds,.etc people cant access or take specific files from you via internet? is that true? or even if it is done via spywares etc, that would be unlikely to be applied on macs would it?

thanks in advance :apple:
