As is the case with unsecured home wireless networks, an unsecured public wireless network
combined with unsecured file sharing can spell disaster. Under these conditions, a malicious user
could access any directories and files you have allowed for sharing.
Shoulder Surfing
In public wireless areas, the bad guys don’t even need a computer to steal your sensitive
information. The fact that you may be conducting personal business in a public space is
opportunity enough for them. If close enough, they can simply glance over your shoulder as you
type. Or, they could be peering through binoculars from an apartment window across the street.
By simply watching you, they can steal all kinds of sensitive, personal information.
