Nothing wrong with internet banking, just don't go trusting any networks that you don't know, simple.If your using public WiFi, then your at the mercy of the provider and others on that network; ie anyone. Picture yourself in a big room of 100 people (Public network), and your passing an envelope with your bank details (maybe with some form of 'encrpytion') to everyone. Or consider going into a private room and just dealing with the bank directly (Private network); leaves little for concern.
