Yes, I know that I have not been keeping up with this very well. As soon as I get all my papers written for other classes, I plan on going back and filling in the gaps.
Today's post, however, is for Thursday's class. While searching for our weekly news article, I stumbled across this little gem:
Hotel's Free Wi-Fi Comes With Hidden Extras
Basically, this hotels' ISP is injecting code into every website you visit that is supposed to show whatever ad they want you to see- regardless of what's supposed to be there, and without the knowledge of both the user and the page creator.
Now, imagine if that particular coding got hacked. Yeah. That's some scary shit right there.
