Security Question
I have an air card. I use it where it will work, but it won't work everywhere. There are some rural areas where there is no coverage.
In those areas I use Starbucks or motel or hotel wifi.
It clearly says it's not secure.
But what does that mean?
Does that mean I should not access my bank account site from that wifi?
Or not?
Is there anything I can do to make it secure for me?
?

1. Means the connection is NOT encrypted with a password
Doesn't mean your own computer security is turned off.
