[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 951614, member: 37647"] So let's assume (hope?) I am smart enough not to fall for the phishing attack that the fake network serves me. Therefore, I am logging onto the real Gmail site or banking site. It uses HTTPS. So the data travels in encrypted form. In such a case, the attacker needs to get into my browser if he wants to catch my login credentials. That means he is loading malware on my system. If I am on linux, then he needs linux-capable malware. Correct? [/QUOTE]
