A Risk Using Wi-fi Hotspots

Have you ever used wi-fi hotspots outside?  Have you ever imagined that it is risky?  There are a lot of wi-fi hotspots outside such as cafes and restaurants.  However, it is dangerous to adress sensitive information via open insecure wi-fi internet.  Recently, the number of victims who were stolen their sensitive information is increasing.  Criminals stole our information when we are on an open insecure wi-fi internet and transmit such information to banks, shops, and so on.  Surprisingly, it is done with comparatively easy techniques.  Not only individuals but also large companies were falling this type of crime.  Attackers used hotspots to get at particular individuals rather than to grab all the data flowing from everyone using a public network, said Ms McMurdie.  Everyone should be aware of what they are putting at risks when they use wi-fi networks, so am I.
