Re: Sneaking a peek on Wlan in airports

I think all you can do is try and raise awareness in general.
Contacting the guy and telling him you have his email account can be seen as
threatening, sure he could thank you, but perhaps he'll take it the wrong
way and call the police.
I think you should let it be his problem.

I'm sure you as I have many time been in airport with public wlan access
and by error had some kind of sniffer running ?

well I has Cain open because of a general scan I was making related to a
test, and I picked up a Pop3 account and password,
I did try to find the guy to tell him but did not see anybody with a
laptop, so what now do I email him as asking him to update the password
or do I just ignore it and let he carry on doing this to him self and his
firm.
