| Connecting to Open Wi-Fi Networks
Do you connect to open Wi-Fi networks when you’re out?
An open Wi-Fi network is one that you can connect to, and start using, without having to enter any kind of password or other authentication. You often see these in public places that want to offer Wi-Fi to their customers, but don’t want the hassle of having to maintain and share a Wi-Fi password.
The problem with the open networks is that they’re usually not encrypted. That’s especially worrisome if you are using that network to conduct banking or do other sensitive work.
