Public Wi-Fi isn’t as free as it looks

Connecting to 'Free Airport Wi-Fi' or 'Cafe Hotspot' might seem harmless, but it could cost you your privacy. Cybercriminals can clone public networks to intercept your login data — a tactic known as a man-in-the-middle attack. Once you connect, they can see what websites you visit, capture passwords, or even inject malware into your device.

SaferDaily Tip: Avoid logging into sensitive apps or making online payments on public Wi-Fi. Use mobile data or a VPN instead — it’s safer than 'free'.
