b'For Memorial Day, the podcast will take a break from tax related topics and consider rather some issues that arise when you, like many this weekend, are traveling and take your laptop with you to "stay connected" with your office and clients.\\xa0 There are a number of risks that have been discussed in recent weeks on Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte\'s Security Now podcast that I wanted to discuss in the context of a tax professional.

We look at how your system may be compromised and your data exposed rather easily by any other machine on a network you are connected to (incluidng a hotel high speed network or a wifi hotspot at your local coffee shop).\\xa0 And by this I mean a machine of any other guest or patron of the shop, or just someone in distance of the hotspot.\\xa0\\xa0 As well, we discuss why wifi encryption does not address this problem, and why additional steps are necessary.\\xa0 We also discuss the steps you can take to make your transmissions truly secure.
