RE: Hacking in Public! What to look out for. ~TnkSecurity

in #security8 years ago (edited)

Really good post. always enjoy decent security content🤓 Keep up the top work

I try to avoid public wifi as much as possible but if I have to use it i do the following

  • Make sure VPN is still on (I run VPN 24/7)
  • Dont do carry out sensitive tasks - internet banking est
  • Check for https and look at the certs.
  • Only stay on the wifi as long as you need to
  • Never supply them with legit info unless needed - it will be logged along with ur mac est.

Also its good to turn off wifi auto connect/discovery to stop wifi🍍

please follow @shifty0g

I will try and create more security related content since people don't have enough knowledge to protect their data. Thanks for the support. :D

Yep, especially the auto-connect thing, that's how they get a lot of people. Name it Xfinity Wi-Fi or AT&T and chances are good you'll get quite a few people's phones and tablets connecting to your Wi-Fi Pineapple!
