Privacy and Identity Theft

Hackers were monitoring the WiFi access point at Custom House Coffee in Portsmouth NH, and were able to steal the credit card details of about 50 customers who used the WiFi at the coffee shop to surf the net and do e-commerce transactions.

The IronKey SecureSessions encrypted web surfing service could have prevented this. IronKey SecureSessions provides a triply encrypted web tunnel for all your web surfing, including a secure DNS service, which helps ensure that hackers on WiFi networks cannot see your traffic, and cannot perform an “evil twin” man-in-the-middle attack to hijack your web surfing and redirect it to fake websites.
