[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 856928, member: 71262"] My advice is to use a mobile network or otherwise verify the wi-fi network security in place (where you can say with [I][B]greater than a reasonable certainty[/B][/I] that it is secure) and use a VPN. A friend let us stay in their Hawaiian vacation condo. Many of the condos, including our friend's, are rented out when not in use by the owners. All the condos were on the same cable or satellite system. Each unit's wifi network was ostensibly secure in that it was password protected, but my iPad was hacked via MITM attack by Japanese yakuza. (Shout out to [USER=69581]@show-Zi[/USER] ! ;) ) I turned the iPad off for the rest of the trip and changed my email password on a mobile phone without further harm. Word! [/QUOTE]
