Today, while having a look at my connections’ log of my FON account, I discovered that my account has been used 3-4 times in other FON hotspots. And, it was not me.
Here are the details:
2006-07-01 16:45:38 2006-07-01 18:45:41 2h 3s 29.35Mb / 2.73Mb FON_Cucnne El Prat de Llobregat
2006-07-01 13:18:02 2006-07-01 18:01:58 4h 43m 56s 5.37Mb / 0.86Mb FON_THENET Vitacura
2006-07-02 9:10:12 2006-07-02 9:40:17 30m 5s 4.53Mb / 0.63Mb FON_hotspot Lyon
I never used my account in other hotspots, so it seems to me a big security issue.
I just sent an email to FON support asking for a detailed explanation, because I’m obviously not happy about this. I’ll publish their response as soon as I receive it.
If there are Foneros among my blog’s readers, please have a look at your log and drop me a line if you find something wrong.
UPDATE July 4th
Just got this response from FON:
Hi, Luca:

Alberto
