Have you ever been hacked on an open CG WiFi system?
I do use open WiFi on a limited basis. I will check email, send conversational email not involving financial matters. I do not use it to check credit cards, banking, making payments or anything that I wouldn't want to make public.
For the first time ever, I had an gmail account hacked while on a WiFi system when overnighting in central Texas. If fact I had reason to believe it was done by the campground owner in this small campground along I-20.
Google sent me an email stating that a change was made to my password. Asked me if I did it.
Has anyone run into this problem when staying at privetly owned campgrounds? I guess the owner of an open system can do this without a lot of trouble. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and can pin it down to a specific WiFi systen.
