Most users aren’t aware they need to add security on top of their in-transit data, and I’ve tried to be Johnny Wi-Fi Security Seed – if I’m not stretching the king of Applejack’s reputation too far – in spreading the word on simple ways you can ensure your passwords and data aren’t sucked in while walking around.

The iPhone – and Mac OS X and all other major operating systems designed for personal computers and mobile phones – doesn’t secure data sent over Wi-Fi by default.

What do you get when you cross thousands of iPhones users, hundreds of Wi-Fi nodes across dozens of networks, and no network security? Lots of snarfed passwords from what could be as few as a handful of ne’er-do-wells who know what to look for.
