Free Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, cafés, and other public places can be convenient, especially when you need to get work done away from home. But connecting your PC to an unfamiliar network can introduce security risks you may not notice while browsing.
Public networks may be poorly secured, and fake Wi-Fi networks can even be created to imitate legitimate ones. When working remotely, sensitive activities deserve extra caution—especially when accessing business accounts, financial information, or confidential files.
Stay safer when using public Wi-Fi:
- Verify the network before connecting
- Avoid accessing sensitive accounts unnecessarily
- Turn off automatic Wi-Fi connections
- Keep your PC security active and updated
