They went to a cyber cafe where there is a wi fi. One guy, face blocked out, used some hack to gain access to another guys laptop as he was sending an e mail, the hacker then sent him an e mail, from himself, saying his laptop had been compromised.

I dont know if the hotel I`m going to has an encrypted wi fi or not. I will be using my VOIP programme to call the USA, UK, & Germany, possibly the Mid East too.

Obviously I will be checking my e mails too. My concern is that I have a dispute pending with Paypal, & I dont want to log on without knowing the connection is secure.
