Think twice before connecting to public Wi-Fi. Free networks at coffee shops, airports, and hotels are convenient, but they’re also prime hunting grounds for cybercriminals. 🔒 Here's how you can protect your data in public spaces: ✅ Avoid accessing sensitive accounts (like banking or work systems) on public Wi-Fi. ✅ Use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your connection if you must connect. ✅ Turn off auto-connect to public networks on your devices.
