Common threats include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Man-in-the-middle attacks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This occurs when a cybercriminal intercepts data between your device and the Wi-Fi network. They can eavesdrop on your online activities or even alter the data you&#8217;re sending or receiving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Evil twin hotspots<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hackers set up fake Wi-Fi networks that look legitimate. When you connect, they can steal your data or direct you to malicious websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Packet sniffing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This involves capturing and analysing data packets sent over the network. Attackers can use special software to intercept unencrypted data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Malware distribution<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some hackers use public Wi-Fi to spread malware to connected devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Password cracking<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weak or default passwords on routers can be easily cracked, giving attackers access to the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Session hijacking<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attackers can take over your online accounts by stealing session cookies transmitted over the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Protecting yourself when using a free Wi-Fi hotspot<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips to stay safe:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Use a VPN<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your data, making it harder for others to intercept. It&#8217;s a crucial tool for public Wi-Fi use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid sensitive transactions<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t access your bank account or make online purchases on public Wi-Fi. Save these for secure, private networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep your device updated<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure your device&#8217;s operating system and apps are up-to-date. This helps protect against known vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Don&#8217;t download or install anything<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid downloading files or installing software while on public Wi-Fi. These could contain malware.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>When in doubt, use your mobile data<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using mobile data is generally more secure than public Wi-Fi. Make sure to keep your phone topped up with credit for these situations. Mobile networks use encryption and other security measures to protect data. They&#8217;re managed by telecom providers who have a vested interest in maintaining security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure you always have this option:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your phone topped up with credit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider a data bundle for cost-effective internet access<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your provider&#8217;s coverage in areas you frequently visit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, having mobile data as a backup can be invaluable when Wi-Fi isn&#8217;t available or seems risky.
