Hotel Wi-fi with Advertisement-injecting Code
Justin Watt, a Web engineer, was browsing the Web in his room at the Courtyard Marriott in Midtown Manhattan this week when he saw something strange. On his personal blog, a mysterious gap was appearing at the top of the page. The hotel’s Internet service was secretly injecting lines of code into every page he visited, code that could allow it to insert ads into any Web page without the knowledge of the site visitor or the page’s creator.

I had that happen starbucks the guy was in the car on a laptop doing that to the people in starbucks
You really need to respect the term unsecured wifi At a hotel at a coffee shop People can have full access to your computer and you don't know it Your files you log on passwords I find it hard to believe some pilot don't understand this And this is a good site to discuss this since it involves pilots
As a pilot, I see about 200 nights a year in a hotel. I use the internet in 100% of them. Thanks for posting David, I didn't see this on Cnet or PCWorld.
that is why i never use the starbucks wifi. you never know what kind of people are using it... also it is odd to see people video-chatting when i am trying to drink my coffee

How desperate to make yourself relevant can you be? Funny, you post this and all I see are a bunch of irrelevant articles as far back as 2003 are. Hahaha....
Man, love the internet!
Man, love the internet!
THe articles are about internet security at hotels; therefore, they are not irrelevant.
I don't wake up Alistair and start searching for articles about problems that I don't know even exist. I peruse the front page news sources just as I did here. This article I only found on Flightaware (without knowing to search for it of course) and it most certainly helps me out in my aviation travels
The list of articles that you want me to search out do not pertain to and are not relevant to the original poster's article. They are therefore, irrelevant to this discussion and the poster's article.
Sounds like a slow day for me and you.

Okay, fair enough. Sorry, i live and breath computers all day and internet security is one of my specialties. I just did not think that this article was of any use. If you found it useful, i am happy. When ever you fly next, have a safe trip:)
Hey, thanks! Cheers!
