how secure is it to use public wifi to surf internet banking sites? i read somewhere before, those who r goot at hacking will take advantage of unifi service. i read that they can access the site we are surfing when using the same wifi. anyone care to explain? plus, are they accessing the site simultaneously with us when we're surfing or they can look up at our internet history and open up our visited site?

and if we're using internet banking via ipod/iphone/any mobile devices with free public wifi is it still safe? is it possible for these group of hackers see what we're surfing too?

ouch. i thought its secure enough, as i done transactions while eating out. but u guys have any idea how do they know we're surfing internet banking?

yes unifi. i read somewhere n i believe in this forum also, someone pointing out that unifi is prone to hackers.

actually i did use public wifi for internet banking quite often too. since my account doesnt hev lotsof money i dont mind but sometimes i use my dads account as he requested me to transfer fr him.tats y im sked his acc will b hacked.
ive taken the stance not to use internet banking in public nymore

plus what about a public wifi but with minimal user? lets say im in tis cafe n i can only see just a normal customer w/o laptop or whatever device in amd outside d cafe. and im d only one with laptop or mobile wifi device is it still safe?

conclusion, if you doubt it'll be safe, use home wifi instead of public.

i think so. but they said, now we need TAC, how can they get our TAC code? i think its safe
