What is an insecure Wi-Fi network?
An insecure Wi-Fi network is typically an open network, such as public Wi-Fi, or one that uses outdated encryption methods, for example, WEP. These networks do not protect your data effectively and can expose your personal information to potential risks.
Why is it unsafe to use an insecure Wi-Fi network?
Insecure Wi-Fi networks can allow attackers to intercept your data, monitor your activity, or carry out attacks to steal sensitive information such as passwords or financial details.
What kind of information is at risk?
Your passwords, banking details, personal information, and any data transmitted over an insecure Wi-Fi network can be accessed by attackers. This includes your eWallet account and transaction details.
How can I tell if a Wi-Fi network is secure?
A secure Wi-Fi network is usually password-protected and uses modern encryption methods such as WPA2 or WPA3. Avoid networks that are open (no password required) or use outdated encryption protocols like WEP.
What should I do if I’m connected to an insecure Wi-Fi network?
We recommend switching to a secure Wi-Fi network or using your mobile data to protect your information. You can also use a VPN for added security.
