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.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
