When you go to public areas, free public Wi-Fi can be incredibly useful. However, most of us are unaware that connecting your computer to these free unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots will put your data at risk of being intercepted. Since it is a public network, many people use it. You are not the only one linked to it. When using public Wi-Fi, it is very easy for anyone to intercept your data. Even if the public Wi-Fi is a secure hotspot, once linked, the intruder can intercept your data.
Anyone linked to the network has open access to Wi-Fi settings on many of the networks. Since anyone can obtain admin access in these types of networks, this can lead to “man-in-the-middle” attacks. In a public network, pulling off incoming and outgoing data is very simple, because everyone on the network can see the information you send. This details may include credit card numbers, passwords, bank account numbers, and so on.
