Pulic Wi-Fi even less secure that previously thought

Are you sat in a coffee shop sipping a skinny latte and browsing the web right now? If you are then you might need to be a bit more careful about how you use the the web when you're out and about.

According to this article from The Register it looks like public wi-fi is even less secure than already thought and you're particularly vulnerable to attack if you use services such as G-mail or Yahoo mail and anything else that uses a session cookie.

It's not all bad news and you can protect yourself by using permanent encryption while using these types of online services and if you're serious about protecting your net connection when you're out & about check out the Defcon Survival Guide to find out what you can do to stay secure.
