Scams: Data Theft
Fake Wifi Hub
A new one, but its getting worse. In a hyper-connected world, where everyone is on the lookout for free WiFi, a common scam hackers will do is create a free unlocked WiFi hub.
Once you connect to it, they steal your data.
The solution?
Never join any unsecured networks and always use a VPN when you’re abroad. Better still, travel with your own WIFI Hotspot to avoid wasting time being a WIFI hunter!
It will keep your data secure. Additionally, don’t access any sensitive data while on an unsecured network, such as your online bank.
If you’re not sure what network to connect to, ask the staff. Better safe than sorry!
