6. My brother always uses public conections, like public libraries or cultural centers, to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…
Public wifi its very dangerous because it contains dangeous viruses and hackers can use this wifis to steal personal data from the people.
Possible solutions:
1. You can use a vpn like NordVPN or another.
2. Always use HTTPS on websites you visit frequently, or that require you to enter some type of credentials.
3. Disable data sharing in system preferences or Control Panel, depending on the operating system.
4. Even if you haven't actively connected to a network, your computer's wireless hardware continues to transmit data with any network within range.
There are security measures to prevent this unimportant communication from becoming dangerous, but not all wireless routers are created equal, and hackers can be quite clever.
