I have said for a long time that WiFi Hotspots are not a secure place to do anything online that you would not want exposed to the general public. This being online banking, online shopping, viewing your corporate email account, etc. being just a few.
With free online tools available on the Internet, it has become very easy for an attacker to view the information that you are entering into your computer from a free Wifi hotspot. These WiFi hotspots may be very handy, but not very secure.
The article above will show you a couple of ways that you can protect you and your computer if you travel frequently and use these hotspots. I want you to stay protected.
Stay safe out there!

Heartbleed: A look at which companies have issued a security patch to fix the Heartbleed bug. Some Internet companies that were vulnerable to the bug have already updated their servers with a security patch to fix the issue. This means you'll need to go in and change your passwords immediately for these sites. . Even that is no guarantee that your information wasn't already compromised, but there's also no indication that hackers knew about the exploit before this week. The companies that are advising customers to change their passwords are doing so as a precautionary measure.

An app called InstLike promised free likes and followers on Instagram, but asked users to provide their usernames and passwords, turning them into a botnet.
Moreover, a user would get 20 free Likes if he used the hashtag #instlike_com in his own photo captions. A search on Instagram reveals that more than 500,000 photos already contain that hashtag.
All these features made InstLike a sophisticated ecosystem that employed thousands of voluntary "zombie" accounts — but it depended on their naiveté and willingness to give up their passwords.
For Narang, who is experienced in the realm of social media-based scams, the sheer volume of people involved is scary.

Rik Ferguson, Global VP Security Research at Trend Micro, blogs about current security issues.
Gust MEES's insight:
If you as an organisation ever have the misfortune to have to notify your customers of a breach,never include a link in the reset mail, it encourages insecure behaviour in your customer base and leaves them wide open to the inevitable phishing attacks that always follow this kind of event.
Always advise them to navigate to your site themselves and follow the on screen instructions that they will surely find there.
