If your device (computer, smart phone, iPad or whatever) detects a

The more I think about this the scarier it gets.
What happens when that "XFINITYWiFi" router you see is a spoofer, they
play you like a real Xfinity site, get your password and along the way
they also dump your device to their machine.
I hope there is more security than you have described.
They are even talking about phony "charging stations" that will dump
your mobile device while you think you are just getting a free charge.
Watch out Greg.... Dick will get on his stump and start calling you
names now. Oh wait, you are in the right social economic class, so you
