Sup /g/
I'm about to head out and have breakfast in some cozy inner city waffle place. Like one of those hipsters with their macs. Except I don't have a mac.
Question: Is it safe to log into paypal and web applications on the public wifi of these cafes? I have quite a bit of money on paypal and rely on it pretty fucking heavily.
Plz respond
just verify that the site is https and have a valid and trusted certificate

Well, consider the fact that I, a moron, could host a Wi-Fi hotspot under a name such as STARBUCKS-PUBLIC and steal everything you enter.

paypal always does from what I've observed. is this really sufficient? can't someone intersect data somehow and crack my password or smth?
>>56525894
yeah and i'm a moron too that's why i'm worried. nigga.

dude no matter if you are on a public wi-fi if the bar of the navegator is green you are safe, also no one is gonna steal your shekels from paypal..

Traffic over HTTPS is protected against anything but a powerful nation-state actor (or some other very unlikely scenarios, but I won't get into it here), even over a compromised network.

Irrelevant if the traffic is over HTTPS.

yeah ofc, i probably will. the paypal access is not urgent, just used it as an example of what worries me.
If your on Windows and have anti virus confirm it hasn't installed it's own certificates on the machine, that has been known to cause major security issues. It wants to inspect the traffic but can't without its own certs, so it installs some
