A free Wi-Fi connection in a public space is actually a lifesaver when you’re trying to send a message. Even if public Wi-Fi networks are free to use, they could come with a hidden cost for plugged-in jet setters, because cyber criminals often spy on public Wi-Fi networks.
“While many international travelers try to reduce the costs of roaming data by relying on public Wi-Fi, it’s also easy for cyber criminals to create rogue Wi-Fi networks in public places, where they can easily collect your data,” says Charles Henderson, an IBM Global Managing Partner and Head of IBM X-Force Red.
