Hi Foxy,

Is it an issue using iPads in public?

Cant be 100% where it happened. Police Investigating. NOT AN IPAD

Hi James

Apple software as I understand is less prone to Virus attack..

Ipads / Ipods tend not to have Anti-virus software..

When it comes to Network Security I am not too sure.

Dedicated 'Hackers' have equipment that can detect activity on a Public Wi-Fi..

If your e-mail is open they can then 'latch on ' to your account via your IP/MAC address.

Then even if you log out of your e-mail they will still have access.

Whereas Windows PC's will have File Sharing either enabled/disabled.

Apple uses iCloud and iTunes where there may be a security problem once someone has gained access to your device.

Do not know enough about this very sensitive subject.

It was an Android tablet. It was the first time I'd used it on that particular cafe's wi fi system. I think it could have happened anywhere and had much more to do with MY settings and very little to do with the cafe's system. Just a lesson to beware - try to set your device with all the protection it can muster, and that old chestnut, don't use the same password for everything.
