will be able to "sniff" your packets, to see what you're sending and receiving over the internet. Anything you send unencrypted they would be able to see. Banks, etc, however encrypt before the information is sent, so that would be of no use to a sniffer.

Other than that, there's not really any more risk than while you're normally connected to the internet.
