I’ll just be a second
I began writing this in a local Starbucks—a place most folks consider anything but a “secure” location. Using the coffee shop’s Wi-Fi through a VPN, I secured my internet connection, and my laptop never left my sight.
The gentleman next to me, on the other hand, was working on something and then … left. I didn’t check to see if he was just picking up a refill or making room for more; the fact was, he walked away from his open and running laptop (and a few other belongings). He returned after a couple of minutes and resumed his work.
I know if you hang out at your local coffee shop or Wi-Fi-enabled eatery often enough, it can start to feel like home. But it’s not. You might assume that the other mobile techie nearby is a “friend” who’ll keep an eye on your things for a few seconds, but that’s a very bad assumption. You might assume that as long as it’s within eyesight, nothing bad will happen.
There are so many ways this can go wrong.
The most common result is theft. But walking away, even for a few seconds, opens the door to everything that unfettered access to your device allows.
