Connecting to public Wi-fi is a big mistake
As I mentioned before, one of the biggest mistakes that you can do is to connect to public Wi-fi. These networks are the handiest and safest tools for hackers to steal your data. So, use a VPN and stay away from public Wi-fi.Â
“Hackers are able to exploit users of public Wi-Fi through intercepting the traffic as it passes over the network, or hackers will set up fake ‘honeypot’ Wi-Fi access points in order to trick users into connecting. The goal of the attacker is to be able to obtain authentication credentials for things such as social networks or bank accounts, among other nefarious motives,” said Alex Heid, Chief R&D Officer at SecurityScorecard.
