I enjoyed reading this article. It had some good points and made a lot of sense..BUT, the reason that ChoicePoint or Bank of American, or any other large corporation has so many security issues is the fact that they get thousands of more attempts from "the bad guys". Although it is great that coffee shops are becoming more safe, how big is their risk actuall?? Sure someone could be sniffing the network and MAYBE get a bank user name/password or other info. but when you compare taking a chance to get 1 persons info compared to 120,000 i would go for the bigger score.

I do agree that corps. should be taking this more seriously, but let's not start comparing them coffee shops that might have 100-150 people on-line at a time.
