Cybercafe's offer a convenient way to use a networked computer when you are away from home or office. But be careful. It's impossible for an ordinary user to tell what the state of their security might be.
Since anyone can use them for anything, they have probably been exposed to
- viruses
- worms
- Trojans
- keyloggers
- and other nasty malware.
Should you use them at all? They're okay for casual web browsing, but they're NOT okay for connecting to your email, which may contain personal information; to any secure system, like the network or server at your office, bank or credit union; or for shopping online.
