Dumb computer question

[ailsagirl]

If you're off-line, can your computer still be hacked??
(And you have a firewall)

I wouldn't think so but I can't say for sure.

:shrug:

Thanks

1. The only way your computer cannot be hacked is if you unplug

it from any network connection at all. Or turn it off. But even if you turn it off, some computers (mostly industrial strength servers and hardly ever your typical computer you buy at Best-Buy has Wake-On-Lan features which means they can be powered on over the network, but if you're asking this question in the first place, it's HIGHLY unlikely you have that feature (it's specialized, and shit) ) can be hacked, but not yours.
