Just because you’re required to enter a password does NOT mean the WiFi is secure. They may not have proper security systems in place, which will put you at risk while you’re using it. Or, a sneaky hacker could set up a similar name (Like CoffeeCafe1 instead of CoffeeCafe) and use the same password so you connect to their WiFi instead. It’s best to not risk it at all and just use a VPN. If you need one, send us a DM! #cybersecurity #wifisecurity #hackers #Devantec #NovaScotia #AltanticCanada #SydneyCa
