I'd like to make an online transaction with my credit card.

Is it risky to use my laptop in Starbucks(Nespot Wi-fi connection) to make online transactions? I'm guessing key loggers aren't really an issue, but can a person intercept the communication between me and the Nespot server/router?

Personally, I wouldn't do it.

Without WPA security, I certainly wouldn't... especially in a coffee shop.

Yes, it can be done.
