In a bar yesterday that had public WiFi. Asked for password, scanned the network and again found the tills. And yes the http port was open and I could view their takings. Not as bad as the last coffee shop which had vnc on their tills. VNC is known for it vulnerabilities. Who puts these systems in? Will email them tomorrow.

The owner or manager. Very few business are tech savvy. The default eircom / upc etc router gives them "all the network they need". Plug everything into the router and it "just works".
