Free Wi-Fi can feel very convenient when you want to go online outside your home. You can connect quickly, so it is easy to start using it without thinking much.
Public Networks Deserve Extra Caution
But public Wi-Fi is not the same as your home connection. Because many people can use it, it makes sense to be more careful about what you do there.
Important Actions Can Wait
Logging in, making payments, or entering personal information deserves extra caution on a public network. Some tasks are better saved for later.
What you can do today
Before using public Wi-Fi, ask yourself whether your login or personal information can wait until you are on a safer connection.
