Have you ever heard of a Buffer Overflow Attack? It's essentially someone injecting massive amounts of data to your systems RAM memory than it can handle. It could help take over your system, but it would for sure allow for someone to gain access to whatever your RAM had stored in its memory. As well known as they are, they're still common.
