MAC ID Security and Privacy?

[Airplanet]

Please tell me can anyone see what we are watching or doing or access on our device(Computer, Mobile and laptop etc) using the MAC ID of our devices(Computer, Mobile and laptop etc)?

Inshort is the MAC ID sensitive thing if any stranger get this MAC ID of our device then what he can do?

if anyone get MAC, only possible to spoofing, but you have multiple security, that won't be possible, that is the reason 2 level security is always suggested if you really like to be secure.

- if someone tamper MAC address and get into network if you Multi authentication, he can only physical layer, not to next.

If the intruder physically has access - not much anyone can do.

So 2 Security important, Physcal and network.

Hello
There is lots of ways to hack you network devices, the security is vast, From a host perspective you would need to keep on top of your patching and antivirus , from network perspective then there are lots of security features ranging from the physical layer up to application layer that can be be implemented.
