Be careful if you connect to public WiFi

I guess if you can afford a coffee with these coffee shops you can afford a mobile data, these coffee shop most likely offered this kind of free wifi so the customer might stay longer into their shop and potentially get more orders but most of them limiting the number of stay like roughly 1-3 hours only to give way to other customer who would like to dine in. Now the catch here is if there is an attacker makes another wifi network which is the same like with the near coffee shop by this they can easily check whats the users activity with their network and what even their recent access but if you visit a not secured website or even the wifi makes you a task to install or re-direct and input into another website thats the time potentially they can steal information of yours and worst.. your assets.

That means on one hand, it will make us spend time in the coffee shop for a long time to get more orders, and on the other hand, it will trap us with free (WiFi) to steal data. We go to coffee shops to sit and spend some time talking with friends or to sit and talk with family for some time, but the surprising thing is that the whole time we spend talking is becoming risky for us.

Above all, it can be understood that if we ourselves are not a little careful from our own place then we will fall into danger at every moment. We have to stay aware and also refrain from using Public (WiFi).

Eight pages of horror stories about using shared WiFi. Has anyone thought that using something that is offered as a temporary use is just an addition to the services and convenience of an institution, but it is not necessarily designed to harm customers? Only the person agrees to the shared network, and only he sets up his device to use someone else's Wi-Fi. If we talk about the "auto-connect to any free network" setting, then here we can say that a person shoots himself in the foot.

However, horrors like hacks and other horror stories can be avoided by completely abandoning the use of anything "shared" and sticking exclusively to personal items. It's like sharing utensils when eating: don't eat from the same plate with the same spoon. Mobile internet is paid for with your own funds; you need traffic, and that's it ... You shouldn't be greedy when paying for your internet, and don't skimp on your own, because sometimes something "common" forces you to part with everything that is available.
