You might have been enjoying the free public wi-fi in your area. Who wouldn’t love free, right? Normally, you might connect without a second thought in a public wi-fi network at the mall, airport, restaurant or coffee shop, but have you ever wondered if someone, somewhere might be able to see your online activity? Considering the forces arrayed against your privacy, that's entirely reasonable.
Once you connect to a public wi-fi network, all the data- the passwords, banking data, credit card numbers, or just plain private information - that you transmit every time you go online,
is vulnerable and at risk of being stolen. You don’t know who might be watching the traffic on that network and you can’t even be sure the Wi-Fi network is legit, or it might be operated by a thief who's after your personal data.
