The Web–public Wi-Fi Vs Rudimentary Reliance.
Come holiday season and people are busy hopping from one place to another. Well, most likely that’s a common sight to witness. What’s even more common is when you land up for your stay in a hotel is trust issues with public Wi-Fi. Should you trust? Should you not? What a predicament! Even a couple of years back, one would have suggested a big no to the question. However, in recent times, that’s not really an option and the reverse is a safer choice to make. Why and how? Let’s find out. Okay, so this topic can’t be really touched upon without actually intensifying it a bit. The web as a whole, in 2018, where we stand has actually turned much safer. Hence, the Wi-Fi networks in airports and hotels have also received their share of security. Bygone are the Wild West times when nothing on the web was encrypted and one could just sniff past at almost everything. Back then, connecting to a public Wi-Fi would mean exposing yourself all bare in front of hackers to play and ploy with your personal data, like passwords and credit card info. Fast forward to 2018, a simple discovery called the Wi-Fi Pineapple can easily keep these things from occurring. Notwithstanding the vitality of the device, internet attack is still very much possible, but never so in the present scenario. That’s all because of HTTPS and this is where you start to acknowledge the goodness of it.
