Though that, rather obviously, means that using public WiFi is unsafe (not that it ever really was), but I think the more likely problem for the average home user will be neighbours (the houses next door, and apartments above and below you, or drive-by hackers). Going from what I read, it's not so much nodes sharing the same point (i.e. what could be interpreted as people *already* on the same network), but vulnerable to anybody who tries to access it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.13.5-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 5 16:53:13 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
