In same spirit, something worst I think ...
If you are in some airport with a GSM/Wifi phone, you are going to =
receive a mail, from local Wifi provider to explain you how to reach =
his (local wifi) network.
Tested in Roissy / France, with iPhone. iPhone will switch from edge =
to wifi connection. I think that some application try to reach their =
server (like mail) and local provider sniff differents things (user =
name / mail sure but what about passwd ??) to send you back an email.
Interesting ...
