Your Wi-Fi can tell people a lot about you

not to pick on you, but: he is correct about the keyloggers. I can steal any information you pass via the keyboard. Say you type in your bank site and then your password, now i have your info. Now with BoA, this strategy wont work since they store your site key and you have to answer a question to confirm a site key.

Keyloggers require much more work than a sniffer and are quite invasive, so it would be much more of a targetted attack and thus very unlikely given that todays criminals are very lazy and want the user to do the work for them.
