Did you know that when you access the Wi-Fi hotspots sensitive data and information is at risk for cybercriminals and other third parties? Of course, these are not the latest news; Wi-Fi has been known to be insecure since it came out, but it seems the Europol cybercrime team has just woken up to this startling revelation.
Troels Oerting, head of the center of the Europol cybercrime recently told the BBC that "We have seen an increase in the misuse of Wi -Fi to steal information, identity or passwords and money of users who use public connections or insecure Wi-Fi. We must teach users that they should not respond to sensitive information while being on an open Wi-Fi insecurity (connection), "he said.
The Board of Europol is on site, and it is good to see that they have joined the party, but it is rather late for them, the cybercrime center of Europe, report now. Could it be that a number of people within Europol recently used public hotspots, and had their private and confidential information stolen? There is a possibility. Or maybe they have just been beamed back to earth by aliens and are being remedial reading? Who knows!
We at HMA! take your privacy and security very seriously and we talked about the dangers of Wi-Fi use for years. Danvers Baillieu, Chief Operating Officer at the Hide My Ass!, Said "While this is great news that they are warning people not to send personal information through unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots, it is a shame they do not mention the solutions. "
Of course, I welcome Europol to reiterate this message, the more people who are aware that they are vulnerable to such attacks, the better. But what about solutions, Europol?
