How are customer's emails stored?

I can't find any mention of this anywhere... I just want to make sure that spammers/hackers/spiders won't be able to somehow hack whatever file the email addresses are stored in.

 

Does anyone know?

 

Hi,

 

All such information is stored in the database and not in files. Is that safe? pretty much. Can it be broken into? possibly. Cause its a basic fact there is nothing that is ever 100% secure, well actually unplugging your Internet cable would be.

 

In one way or another every real system out there does things in a similar manner. Your bank, the big time online retailers etc. So while nothing is perfect in terms of security or anything else for that matter, you weigh acceptable risks. And of course you do everything you can do, strong passwords, patches, etc.

 

Be well,

 

Tina

Teach a person to fish rather than give them a loaf of bread or however that saying goes.
