Dangers of Free Public Wifi

by Andre on January 25, 2012

Free wifi — it’s everywhere, from the coffee shop to the airport. It’s convenient, but you may be putting your personal information at risk.

Nine million people fall victim to identity theft every year. And now, with thousands of wifi hot spots across the country, thieves are finding a new and easy way to steal your information.

Everywhere you look — there’s wifi. But web surfers beware: Hackers are out there and trying to use wifi to rob you blind.

My wife told me about how her boss got his computer hacked and someone filed his 2011 tax return. It made me think. I use Starbucks wifi open access all the time.

After watching this video it will make me think again why I should use this open wifi network again.
