Is this something you'd have to worry about if you have the proper
security on your OS?


Do a google for 'wifi evil twin'

Basically somebody sits in an airport lounge or such, with a laptop a wifi
card and a GPRS card. If this is the stronger network, windows will connect
to this by default.
The start page is made to look like T-Mobile of such like, and hey presto,
you have all their personal information.
For this reason it is advisable to connect manually to a network.

I have a Mac though, and Firefox specifically avoids that kind of
behaviour. (It didn't at one point though.)

Interesting, nevertheless!
