Summer travel means spending time in airports, cafes, and hotels, where hackers love to set up fake networks with names like “Free Airport Wi-Fi.”
Do This Instead — Avoid logging into bank accounts or typing passwords while on public Wi-Fi. If you need to check something sensitive, turn off your computer’s Wi-Fi and use your smartphone’s Personal Hotspot instead. It is significantly more secure.
If you use the public Wi-Fi, always make sure to turn on your VPN.
