Remember, kids, when you TXT-SPK "Cu l8r", that there's nothing new under the sun.  But also that outside your clique you're going to look affected, at the very least.  You might as well {{w|ROT13}} instead, if you're so keen on obfuscation!</rot26_for_additional_security> [[Special:Contributions/178.98.31.27|178.98.31.27]] 07:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 
 
 
The HTTPS, VPN, SSH and in general any encrypted connections may be intercepted by the man-in-the-middle pretending to be the server you're trying to connect to, and the Snowden papers show that NSA had done so. The only protection is to have the server's certificate on your computer and check that it does indeed match the certificate presented by the server, or stop connecting if it doesn't match. But how many people do pay attention to this? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.5|108.162.246.5]] 23:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Wifi comes secured by default now, making this officially a retro hacker joke. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.120|172.68.38.120]] 17:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 
 
 
Depending on settings + protocol it's still ''possible'' to access people's networks (+ library/school admins still exist!) --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.27|162.158.62.27]] 00:24, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
