With summer finally here, people are traveling more and using public wifi for business and pleasure.
Even if you don’t plan to do any work, you will likely take your smartphone or tablet to stay connected on Facebook, take photos, or listen to music. Be sure to take a minute to refresh your cyber security best practices.
If you are out somewhere and need to connect to the internet, use your hotspot and be sure to make a secure password for it.
Whether on vacation or at your local coffee shop, DO NOT let your device automatically connect to public WiFi.
If you need to connect to a public WiFi, check with someone at the facility, if possible, to verify the guest network ID and password before connecting to ensure it is a legitimate network.
Even if you are certain you are connected to a legitimate public Wi-Fi network, refrain from connecting to sensitive accounts, such as your bank, credit card, or work account.
