Tipmont Wintek advises precautions when using any public WiFi connection, including:
-
Using common sense when connecting to websites that require passwords or personal information (e.g., social networking, online banking, sites that store credit card information)
-
Considering use of a VPN if you access any sites requiring passwords or personal information
-
Ensuring up-to-date antivirus software and enabling your firewall
-
Visiting sites that use HTTPS connections rather than those using unencrypted HTTP connections
