There is no way I would access anything private or personal from an Internet Cafe. Besides the physical machine you're on, what about the guy next to you running a sniffer, what about the gateway box logging traffic, proxy server, etc and the list goes on and on. Best Practices in my opinion would be not to do it at all.

Just my 2cents

Hi!

Any recommendations of Best Practices when accessing your Online
Banking account from an Internet Cafe?  Assuming your bank does not
provide two factor authentication, are there any specific checks you
can do, tools you can run on a  machine to ensure it is not Logging
keystrokes, caching UID/pwds etc

Any suggestions or advice in this area is greatly appreciated
Thanks
