Tip: Think Twice Before Using Public Wi-Fi
January 2025
A public Wi-Fi connection is convenient, but it comes with risks. When you use an open network, cyber criminals are often waiting to access your personal information.
Follow these tips when connecting to a public Wi-Fi:
- Avoid logging into sensitive accounts, like banking or shopping apps.
- Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to secure your connection.
- Turn off the file sharing option on your device.
- Only visit secure websites that begin with ‘https’.
Stay vigilant, and keep your information safe by following these simple tips.
