Please note that, apart from this login screen, all data transferred over this wireless network is sent unencrypted and can therefore be eavesdropped very easily. These kind of threats are very much real. Software to carry out "identity thefts" in unencrypted wireless networks is readily available and requires no "hacker skills" whatsoever. You are strongly encouraged to use the encrypted network, which is much safer to use than this one. Once set up, using the encrypted connection will usually be less troublesome as well.
