Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
I was just looking at a flyer from my bank, which listed 10 steps to reduce one's risk of identity theft. Two of them were cautions about using unsecured wifi networks to do any kind of transfer of personal, sensitive information.
For some reason, Washington [url http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Common/Flash/P125728.asp ]state ranks[/url] 8th in the nation for incidence of identify theft --yikes! There are still some agencies that use one's social security number as a password (my cell phone company for instance), which I think is a really bad idea.

Article: "Promiscuous laptops"
By Robert Vamosi
Senior editor, CNET Reviews
March 9, 2007
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3513_7-6714777-1.html
From the article:
"Laptops now outsell desktops, and more and more locations are offering free public Wi-Fi networks. Yet there are no formal recommendations on how one should secure a wireless laptop on a public wireless network. Case in point: A few weeks ago, I attended the RSA Conference 2007 and shortly afterward saw a press release from AirDefense.net regarding the number of laptops--at a security conference, mind you--that weren't connecting to the official public wireless network. What's interesting is that most of the wireless laptop security information I've seen is at best vague, including some of my own tips. Here's my take on some known problems with wireless laptop security and some suggested solutions. I welcome any other tips you might have."
