Who’s Watching Your WiFi Connection, and What Can They See?

Many of my dear readers enjoy a little productivity boost by working off-site in a coffee shop or bookstore for a change of pace.  There is a lot of paranoia out there about people being able to spy on your WiFi internet connections when you are out in public, and I found a very helpful article in the New York Times about what exactly can be seen by a latte-drinking hacker on a couch across the room.  A lot of articles like this make you feel really scared, but this one actually made me feel better because information is power!  I now know what exactly to be careful about or not.  I hope this is helpful to you!
