  • Public wi-fi's never reject any person to connect in fact the meaning of pen wi-fi is as it is open for everyone to access.

Questions that you get now:

Why do HACKERS love public wi-fi's:

Hackers love those places where they can get a lot of Data (Information) their goals are always on private information because getting some private data of a person can get the Hacker control stick of your activities. What is this called?


Man-in-the-Middle Attack:

The above process of getting control over you and use you to make their activities is known as Man-in-the-Middle Attacks to explain it simply it is like a puppet show the puppet master here is the Hacker and the puppet in his hand is you. In general, puppets act as per the control of its puppet master but the money gained from that show will be taken by the puppet master, not the puppet. But the hero of the story is the puppet only for the audience the Threads that you see are your personal data with which they get control over you. So Hacker gets the money but people will think that the victim has done this job and blame goes to the victim and money goes to the Hacker.

Rogue Hotspots:

Another risk of using free public Wi-Fi is that you may be connecting via a rogue hotspot. This is an open hotspot, usually with a name similar to that of a legitimate hotspot, which cyber criminals set up to lure people into connecting to their network. Once a victim connects to the rogue Wi-Fi hotspot, the host hacker can then intercept data and even use tools to inject malware into the connected devices.

Here are a few tips to make it harder for cybercriminals to steal your information on public Wi-Fi:

  • Avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi. If you must use a public Wi-Fi hotspot, also use a virtual private network (VPN) to secure your connection. The VPN works on PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets to make your public Wi-Fi connections private.

  • Don’t log in to password-protected websites that contain sensitive information when using a public Wi-Fi connection — for example, banking and social networking sites, or even email.

  • Keep your software patched and up to date on all your devices — even your mobile ones — to avoid any potential infections by viruses or malware if you do use unsecured public Wi-Fi.
