This is the ultimate security key for professionals.
There are a number of quick and easy ways to improve your personal privacy and safety when using public Internet services.
Double-check for any spoofed hotspots before you connect, as they may look official but lure you to download malicious software. Spoofed hotspots may appear legitimate with names such as "Free Wi-Fi" or duplicating a retail store's hotspot i.e. "Starbucks WiFi." but are actually gateways for attackers to conduct phishing campaigns, MITM attacks and surveillance. If a hacker conducts a man-in-the-middle attack, any communication sent from your system to online services may be spied upon, leading to data theft or potential malware payloads being deployed.
