Public Wi-Fi Risks

 

Awareness:

Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, allowing hackers to intercept data or deploy attacks like man-in-the-middle (MITM).

Solution:

1. Avoid Accessing Sensitive Accounts:

   • Refrain from logging into bank accounts or email while on public Wi-Fi.

2. Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network):

   • Tools like NordVPN or ExpressVPN encrypt your internet connection for secure browsing.

3. Disable Auto-Connect:

   • Turn off automatic connection to open Wi-Fi networks in device settings.

4. Use HTTPS Websites:

   • Ensure websites display “https://” and a padlock icon in the address bar before entering any information
