Public Wi-Fi networks in cafes, hotels, and airports are notoriously insecure and are actively monitored by fraudsters.
The Man-in-the-Middle Attack
Fraudsters set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots with names similar to the venue. When you connect and log into your bank, they intercept your credentials in real-time.
How to Stay Safe
Never access banking apps, make online purchases, or enter sensitive information while connected to public Wi-Fi. Always switch to your 4G/5G mobile data for financial transactions.
