Apple - Can one's iMessage/FaceTime identities be hijacked at a public Wi-Fi?

Yes, this may be a security risk. But it's unlikely that someone hijacked your Mac using Wi-Fi alone.

In order for you to receive this message someone needs to login with your Apple ID credentials with a device that supports FaceTime (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, any Mac).
