Bad Guys Are Watching You (via insecure Wi-Fi)

Bad Guys Are Watching You (via insecure Wi-Fi) | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Our study during World Cup indicates one in four networks are dangerous and you must take care to avoid substantial loss.


Recent developments in the smartphone world and the emergence of mobile apps for almost every use inevitably led to increased smartphone and tablet usage when dealing with sensitive data.


Be it your CV on LinkedIn, private pictures sent to your lover via WhatsApp, Viber or other similar app, one-time password for online banking – you send and receive such data on your mobile device.


Unfortunately, most people don’t realize how often and how easily that data, which you would never trust to most people around you, could be intercepted by a complete stranger seated ten meters away.

Identitätsdiebstahl verstehen 2: Mehr Angriffspunkte, mehr Tools und mehr Prävention

Identitätsdiebstahl verstehen 2: Mehr Angriffspunkte, mehr Tools und mehr Prävention | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Im Artikel Identitätsdiebstahl verstehen: Angriffspunkte, Tools und Prävention zeigten wir moderne Mittel und Wege auf, wie Sie Ihrer digitalen Identität beraubt werden können.  Wir beschrieben darin einige der verbreitetsten Wege und Tools, mit Hilfe derer Identitätsdiebe in Ihren Computer eindringen, und erklärten, wie Sie ihnen diese Wege versperren können und Diebstahl durch eine Lösung mit gesundem Menschenverstand und eine effiziente Anti-Malware-Software wie Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8 verhindert werden kann.

 

Wir widmeten ebenso viel Zeit dem Vergleich modernen Identitätsdiebstahls mit früherer Vorgehensweisen.  Wir diskutierten, wie viele Tools sich gewandelt haben, aber dass viele Ansätze, die auf Täuschung beruhen, nach wie vor gleich geblieben sind.

But while technology makes traveling easier, a recent F-Secure survey pinpointed digital areas that need special consideration while on the road.

Scott Lewis's curator insight, January 22, 2014 2:24 PM

I have said for a long time that WiFi Hotspots are not a secure place to do anything online that you would not want exposed to the general public. This being online banking, online shopping, viewing your corporate email account, etc. being just a few. 

 

With free online tools available on the Internet, it has become very easy for an attacker to view the information that you are entering into your computer from a free Wifi hotspot. These WiFi hotspots may be very handy, but not very secure.

 

The article above will show you a couple of ways that you can protect you and your computer if you travel frequently and use these hotspots. I want you to stay protected. 

 

Stay safe out there!
