- ByteTide makes no network connections of its own. The only outbound traffic is email alerts if you configure SMTP.
- SMTP passwords are currently stored as plain text in the local settings table (
app_settings). Use a dedicated or app-specific password, not a primary account password. Improving this (e.g. Windows DPAPI) is a welcome contribution. - The Windows Service runs with whatever account you install it under. Prefer a least-privilege account where possible.
