You could google it to find the details, but a year or so ago they nailed some kinko's employees for doing just that, the were keystroke logging people at their public terminals, and were collecting logins for remote access like gotomypc, and bank and credit account users and passwords. I forget who traced it back to that one shop in a tourist area, but it was something four or five of the people had in common.

Lots of providers of remote access have one time use passwords now, and lots of people use a VPN to get to a network they trust first. I would be very careful on a public terminal, and any place you do use, be it your remote access, corporate mail, credit or bank accounts, absolutly anyplace you put in a username and password, you should change it at the next chance you get from a non public terminal.
