According to a recent study from the Cornell University School of Hotel
Administration, most wireless connections at hotels are still unsecure.
Wi-Fi users at hotels are at risk of "man-in-the-middle" attacks that can
mislead patrons into giving out sensitive information.

In unsecured networks, users risk hacker tampering with unencrypted
emails and web exchanges. In the spirit of National Cyber Security Awareness
Month, Comodo Security Solutions, Inc. reminds concerned Wi-Fi users that
its
TrustConnect service allows laptop owners to take network security into
their own hands and keep their connection secure, no matter what network
they use. TrustConnect, which works on Windows, Mac and even Linux OSes,
uses an SSL certificate to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This VPN
allows TrustConnect to essentially put a shield around the user's connection
to the Internet, preventing hackers from accessing the protected system
while on a public wireless connection. This protection extends no matter
what network users are logged onto, be it in a hotel, on the road, or
anywhere else.
With a 7-day free trial and affordable monthly and annual rates,
TrustConnect from Comodo is one of the most secure, reliable services
available to assure users that they are protected, no matter what network
they are connected to. Hotels may have to catch up on their network
security, but laptop owners don't have to wait for them.
