Hi Dave,

  If you don't have the latest security updates this is possible but

unlikely. Older browsers can be bypassed to allow reading (not writing)

without proper notification by opening a hidden window but the intruder

would have to know where to look to find info. So if you always place

information in default locations, if there is a security invasion you

are vulnerable. 


The address at www.geocities.com/vienna/6318 has no program only a gif

so it can do no harm. If there was someone there poking into people's

browser's, he has been removed or the offending pages were. Even if it

was a joke GeoCities may have removed him.


These rumors are almost always total bogus but you should still be

careful.
