Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Spotted in an American airport.
Why go to all the trouble and cost to print this – on good card stock at that – but why not add a little effort and create proper logins & passwords? And print only monthly? I wouldn’t connect to this network.
Remember, airport WiFi is the most dangerous network in the world.
Airport WiFi looks like this – here
It’s the most dangerous network in the world – here
Which is why I don’t use it – here
On a private plane even. Class eh.
HANG ON… as I was typing that and reflecting on the flight, it hit me – neither my bag nor backpack were put through an x-ray… I was able to bring unscreened luggage into the US? How is that even possible?!
Today’s border pic.
It’s about 14º here.
Been so long since I saw this green stuff. Heard it’s snowing at home right now, omfg.
The Subaru team is a fun and funny one, hi guys!
kk, ready for the big reveal?
Tomorrow, Subaru is taking 18 of us to the IIHS crash test facility. We’ll be the first ever Canadian journalists to go inside…
Look how violent!
Basically – IIHS sends a car straight into a block of steel, then asseses how it handled it. Subaru is the only only automaker with all its models receiving IIHS Top Safety Picks, for 6 consecutive years at that.
So pumped. Probably the only time in my life I get to see this.
But it’s now late, and I’m doing this on hotel WiFi which I abhor, so the end for tonight, will send all great things to my Instagram TTYT
Because we de-planed mid-tarmac, we needed a ride to the terminal and were sent in this thing.
Wouldn’t a regular bus make more sense?
Pretty eh.
Why? Read these 2 posts – here’s a possible attack, and the time when I was compromised using it at ORD Chicago.
Don’t connect to it.
Tether your phone, via USB, to your laptop.
– check the network name and verify it’s actually the airport, and not someone spoofing it. Example: FreeWiFiAtPearson is probably fake
– only visit sites using SSL (the address bar will have an S in it – httpS://KeriBlog.com – like that)
– turn on your firewall
– never enter any logins or credentials; banking from an airport WiFi connection is practically begging for it
– use a VPN – Virtual Private Network
– turn off WiFi on both phone and laptop when not in use
Another screenshot of airport WiFi.
WAIT. This just hit me… could that printer be a honeypot?
That’s in Miami, and seems odd to permit a printer to be unlocked – ( why to always lock your printer here) – and like, if I was in charge of securing an airport I’d tell the vendors lock theirs…..
