BTW – ALL IT TAKES IS ONE CROOKED PERSON IN A PUBLIC LOCATION SUCH AS TIM HORTONS OR STARBUCKS OFFERING WI-FI FOR SOMEONE TO SPOOF A TIM HORTONS WI-FI HOTSPOT. IF THE SIGNAL IS STRONGER, IT’S NOT MUCH OF A DIFFICULT TECHNICAL ISSUE TO END UP ON SOMEONE’S SMARTPHONE PRETENDING TO BE THE TIM HORTONS WI-FI HOTSPOT.
FROM THERE – YOUR UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE AS THE INTENT IS TO NAIL YOUR ASSES AND ENGINEER YOU INTO OBLIVION.
FAV TO PICK ON THESE TWO SPOTS I FREQUENTLY FIND MYSELF IN, BUT TRUTH IS… EVERYWHERE THERE’S WI-FI OFFERED, YOU’RE A SITTING DUCK IF YOU LOG ON TO DO PERSONAL BUSINESS ON THEM.
GET YOUR OWN FOR BETTER SECURITY REASONS. ALL THE OTHER ONES ARE COMPROMISED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
HEY, DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU. THAT’S THE WAY THIS CONNECTED INTERNET EVERYWHERE THING WORKS.
POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG AND LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES.
