Link Only to an article from Ars Technica on a new man-in-the-middle attack which allows bad guys to gain data from people using WIFI hotspots about Secure websites you may be using, such as your banks or other websites that use HTTPS connections with encrypted connections. It works on any system, Mac, Windows, Linux, etc., because it relies on the industry standard of internet languages of the Hypertext communications after it leaves your computer environment. PING! Pinging dayglored, Shadow Ace, and ThunderSleeps for your ping lists due to cross platform security issues.
