A Guide to Public Wifi Security Risks & How to Use it Safely

There are hundreds of fantastic things we can thank the World Wide Web for. But, sadly, that doesn’t mean it isn’t without fault.

There’ll always be people who try to exploit the naivety or recklessness of others. That sad state of affairs extends to cyberspace. Criminals will often try to intercept sensitive data over wifi networks – and there’s no better place to try that than on (often unguarded) public servers.

But don’t worry, there are ways to combat this. This guide will run you through everything you need to know about how these cybercriminals operate, and provide you with effective ways of preventing and countering an attack.

Thanks to our friends at Surfshark, here is a comprehensive guide you can use to stay safe.
