Ummm, like your local coffee shop's "Free WIFI"?

What would you guess the likelihood is that public WIFI hotspots are gonna get patched quickly?

Yes, these are the real threats.

As a rule, one shouldn’t do anything he doesn’t want stolen when on public wifi.

Anyone on a public WiFi without a VPN has more problems than just this hack.
