      It’s good practice to assume that this is true of every network you don’t control.

      If it’s an open WiFi (no WPA password) packets are not encrypted anyway, so anyone on this AP can easily see everything that comes through it. A decade ago, when most websites allowed plain HTTP, there was a Firefox extension which let you hijack the Facebook or Twitter session of anyone connected to an open WiFi with a couple of clicks.

      Nowadays everything is hopefully encrypted at the application level, so while attackers can see where the data goes, they can’t actually read it.
