local news hour show had the travel consultant on talking about the potential security
threat to the user of computers when they're traveling - but not just travelers
the computers might be those you pay $5 to use for 15mins - found here in grocery
stores but could be located anywhere - libraries, a business center, in the hotel where
the traveler is staying
the problem being that keyloggers or similar software may be installed to record personal
data, travelers/tourists in particular being vulnerable
but any user making financial transactions, accessing online banking, entering cc /
debit card / password numbers etc is threatened by data collection
not necessarily the computer owner who's collecting the data but any thief who can
obtain access to such computers and load data collection/re-emailing software
