Sharing your passwords
Wi-Fi users should “avoid using any site that requires you to log in with your username or password. You risk exposing those log-in credentials to strangers,” reminds Brian Lapidus, practice leader in Kroll’s Identity Theft and Breach Notification practice.
You might think you’re safe on sites that encrypt your password, but Lapidus explains that “hackers on public Wi-Fi can ‘listen in’ and capture credentials before they’re encrypted.”
