Or the one controlling all the PCs in the internet cafe. the server could snoop into what you're doing and record whatever it is that's on your screen and also your keystrokes. Usually I don't resort to public internet cafes to enter my personal bank accounts or any other sensitive data/passwords that I have. This is asking for trouble in plain sight, without any regard for the security of your private data and other sensitive stuff.

I'm pretty sure you have your mobile phone to open your wallets, no?

yeap, they can do it because of security reasons or whatever they want to call it.
so this is really not very good idea. it is just an open apartment with some money in the cabinet..
so maybe no one enter and search, but maybe you're already in danger..

also because cafe may ask for personal data, then bad guy could have them, and your passwords and email.
I'd say potentially this is very high risk

well , about 6 years ago , before crypto booming,
I have a bad temper, i put some keylogger to every internet cafe on my location.
i just using that for get facebook account and email to get free zynga poker chips , then i sell it.
well, about keylogger work, i tell u, that program can track anything u do,
where u go, what u login for,etc.
so , i guess, better u using ur smartphone or u got caught by thieft.
and also , dont even to try using free wifi for transaction like that.
since as far i knew, even from wifi can be tracked, well , even keyloggers can evolve.

Well if they insert a keyloger then they can trace what sorts of things you typed. Also they can trace the copy pasted contents.
It's really not recommended to use public internet cafe.

You will be taking too much risk.

@pawanjain, you were a minute faster than me :-P

Nothing lasts forever

Yes there is and its called as Keylogger which stores every single key you have pressed on your keyboard and also takes the screenshot of the screen.
Also there are some advanced tools which also copies the data from your clipboard which means if you copy the private key then it will be stored by the tool.

Using cyber cafes is extremely risky and makes your wallet vulnerable. You can simply use your smartphone instead.
It will provide a better security when compared to cyber cafes.

@Royse777 haha Grin

I was waiting for such a comment

P.S: I have used a Keylogger myself to track my borther's windows password and damn I was successful in owning his system Grin

I know it is not secure to use public internet Cafe Computers for accessing the wallets and for transaction needs. At times I don't have any other option than just using it. I would like to know, is there any software available to record the input data entered while accessing the wallet. Recently one of my friend informed about such a way to know the private keys. Is there anyone here have any such experience.
