GOD that SUCKS. I got phished at a Starbucks in San Antonio last spring and it was the WORST week of my life. Some guy walked up to me and asked for help with his phone, and while I was looking at it he must have grabbed my info off my laptop screen. I lost my email for FIVE days and missed a deadline for a freelance gig. I had to change every single password I own and it was such a nightmare. Now I will literally log out of everything if anyone comes near me at a coffee shop.

Don't know, I kind of feel like that's on you a little. Public wifi and strangers walking up to your laptop is a pretty known risk at this point.
