the internet can be very easily accessed
thanks to wireless technology, WiFi. However, people are advised to be careful
using these facilities. Because free WiFi actually risks the security of
personal data of internet users.
This was revealed by experts in London
who recently conducted research related to the use of WiFI in public places. In
the research, British cyber security expert Colin Tankard revealed that WiFi
facilities in public places were prone to data theft. Open it, cyber crime can
also break into credit cards without the slightest being realized by the
victim.
According to Tankard, one way that can
be taken is to install a virtual private network (VPN) that is accompanied by
anti-virus. VPN works to encrypt activities on the internet, making it
difficult for hackers. Although most VPN services are paid, the free VPN
provided by Avira or Sophos is sufficient.

Setu revealed that people in the country must be careful about using it.
