Digital Security Tip:
We often let our devices connect to WiFi automatically, but sometimes these connections can be hijacked. Protect your information and password credentials by avoiding networks that offer “Free Public WiFi” and watching for these signs that you may be encountering a rogue network:
Applications ask you to verify a new security certificate, often seen when browsing the web or connecting to get email.
Connection may be slower than usual with sluggish web page loading.
Request for you to enter a WiFi password for a network you normally connect to automatically.
The network is in a hotel, airport, coffeeshop, school, or other public space.
