Someone (next to you) is watching you

Chances are that form time to time you browse the internet in a cafe using their (probably unsecured) wifi.

If so, there is a very real risk that you are being watched. Not in the sense that someone is standing behind you looking over your shoulder at your screen. Worse, as they are doing it without you knowing it:



They can connect to your machine and watch what you're doing on your screen from their screen.

If they know what they're doing they could even access your files and record your keyboard activity, ie work our your passwords.

I now use a tool called HotSpot Shield which is available free on PC, Max, iOS and Android.
