| Sep 24, 2016 at 7:43 | comment | added | Fiksdal | AndrewGrimm I LOLd when I saw this dupe proposal in the review queue. Voting to leave open, obviously. If they want to close this they're gonna have to think up a better reason than champagne bottles. @Olielo , did you misclick, or did you have a few drinks? Possibly champagne? | |

| Sep 20, 2016 at 18:26 | comment | added | SJuan76 | @MichaelKohne It is a good sign that the question has not been posted in the proper SE (v.g., one with IT security experts). Next question: how to change a flat tire while you are in another country! | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 16:12 | comment | added | Michael Kohne | @AndrewGrimm - the many answers to this question is a sign of the current (rather poor) state of computer security and general understanding thereof. It's not a sign of a problem with this question. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 12:48 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | This is getting a lot of answers. Is that a bad sign? | |

| Sep 20, 2016 at 5:10 | comment | added | Fattie | For people who don't own security companies, I recommend NEVER USING ANY PASSWORDS. Use only wide-open email, banking etc. This is the only thing that will get your head in a place where you realize you can't use insecure machines. Note that the phrase "can't use insecure machines " means "can't use insecure machines". So, that phrase means "can't use insecure machines". Another way to express that is "can't use insecure machines". The 1000s of words on this page about access protection (who cares?) is an example of this problem. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 5:03 | comment | added | Fattie | the very simple answer is "you can't". just forget it. | |

In my case I could also communicate with my wife over the link - adding some 3rd party who achieves "personal factor authentication" from a distant country is liable to be reasonably effective. | I've only had my aaccess compromised once AFAIK when "abroad". A public WiFi session at Hong Kong airport resulted in (AFAIK) me being locked out of GMail from China only a few hours later (before the Chinese barred GMail) but the account recovery system got me back in. | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 10:19 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | ... I've used "Team Viewer" remote access software from China to a home computer system in NZ. That's probably worse as it has the potential to give them access to my NZ system - but it does give the ability to implement a challenge and resonse system where the "2nd factor" could be a mentally simple but "inobvious enough" system. Couple that with Comodos system and you'd be making it very hard to make sense of keylogger data. ... You can eg move a mouse pointer over a remote screen and if you ... | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 10:19 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | I'll put this here as it relates to comments made on several answers: I've seen internet cafe's where NO access to the machine proper was available - you got cables through a physical wall. (That may have been Dublin or Prague (or both)). | It's common enough to not allow users access to USB or DVD/CD || Comodo's remote access software (overpriced IMHO) gives you https access from your cafe PC but does not address the keyloggers. || ... | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 7:52 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | Comodo sell a product that allows encrypted connection to their site and then connection to where-ever. That addresses most in-PC and beyond exploits - Note however jpatokal's comment on keyloggers. | |

| Sep 19, 2016 at 5:48 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | This is absolutely on-topic for Travel.SE, and should stay open. Posts in other SEs are fine as references in answers though. | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 1:43 | comment | added | hippietrail | @chx: Umm topicality and duplication are not the same thing, even by Stack Exchanges messed up terminology standards. | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 1:41 | comment | added | hippietrail | I wouldn't say it's off topic here since this is an actual problem that travellers face, but security.SE is full of very knowledgeable people in this realm. I did remove the international travel tag since the same can happen at your local internet cafe in your city. | |

| Sep 18, 2016 at 15:18 | comment | added | user4188 | I know it can't be closed as a duplicate, I marked it as off topic sorry if the wording is not perfect. Perhaps I should've said "it's already answered at X and Y". | |
| Sep 18, 2016 at 15:03 | comment | added | AStopher | @chx It can't be closed as a duplicate as it's a cross-site duplicate. These duplicates can only be closed as a duplicate if the question is moved to one of these sites. The question should be closed as offf-topic. | |
