[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1710116, member: 54417"] Randy, Your message is correct but as with most reports on the subject it is also full of assumptions. That is not a bad thing, it just shows that we don't know exactly what is going on, we are guessing most of the time and we live with a false sense of security. All I want to say is that I configure my own controls based on the threats that I am faced with in my day to day job dealing with ICT threat intelligence. I make no assumptions that somebody else has a control in place that might help me .... to be honest, I don't even want to think about it when I am out and about. The coffee shop was just an example. People should be able to use their devices safely on foreign networks, knowing that they have their device " protected " ( as they see fit ) against the threats that really matter ( for them ). There is no such thing as " one size fits the world " ( Courtesy of Microsoft ) Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
