This is what I dislike most about free wifi. It's completely lacking in security and most are not aware of the issue. the use of mobile apps makes it worse.

This is what I dislike most about free wifi. It's completely lacking in security and most are not aware of the issue. the use of mobile apps makes it worse. At least with a browser, the browser will warn if something suspicious is happening. But there's no way for a user to know if a mobile app is using https and using properly (not ignoring certificate errors).
