Re: careful at Internet cafes
I'm sure it won't stop them. The amount of people who don't secure their wifi, They only have to drive round a housing estate and find free internet.
But I guess monitoring cyber cafes is better than doing nothing.

Re: careful at Internet cafes
Nah.
They're all down at their local library, surfing eBay for 'refurbished' dirty bombs.
Chances are, this news story will put paid to any potential 'terrorists' using Internet Cafés from now on, although the spying on people therein will continue indefinitely one assumes?
What next?

Re: careful at Internet cafes
When using Internet Cafe's the first thing I always consider is that you're likely to be going through some local transparent proxy anyway, logging each machines outbound access.
With good record keeping it wouldn't be hard to support the police in any anti terrorism requests.

Re: careful at Internet cafes
I wonder if this happens with unlocked home routers, if you understand me.

Not necessarily just the 'unlocked' ones, but yes I would imagine that it does...

Re: careful at Internet cafes
I've been told to cut down my caffeine intake so they have no chance of catching me planning an atrocity.

Re: careful at Internet cafes
On my laptop i use the latest wpa2 security on the router. But looking at the routers around my immediate area i notice at least 3 that are free. No security at all. In my range from home.

Re: careful at Internet cafes
Cyber Cafe's in China are pretty bad too - a lot of the "hacking" goes on from these.
I once tracked down somebody who "hacked" a Windows box in my house for the purposes of stealing WoW account data to a location in Fujian:

Yes, "hacked" in quotes because they are not real hackers - they just use script-kiddy stuff they downloaded from the tubes.
