Simple Wi-Fi Security Tips
Free public Wi-Fi is one of modern civilization's most magnificent achievements. It's also fraught with danger. But few people realize that data snoops don't actually need fancy hacking tools to snatch your username and password in public. They can just look over your shoulder, read your screen, and watch your keystrokes. The next time you think about logging on for a wireless connection at your neighborhood cafe, you might want to watch your back. - Executive Editor Robert Strohmeyer
