9 Terrible Things That Can Happen to You on Public Wi-Fi!

1) The Man in the Middle Attack
The simplest explanation of this is information is intercepted between your device and the wi-fi access point you are using, making the victim’s device think the hacker is the access point. A Man in the Middle attack is a method of eavesdropping to gain enough of your information to steal what they want from you. Free wi-fi is an all you can eat buffet for cyber criminals and they count on the fact that most free wi-fi networks are unencrypted. So, they have little or no problem inserting themselves between you and where you think you’re connected to.

Allowing you to securely access a private network and share data remotely through public networks. Much like a firewall protects your data on your computer, VPNs protect it online.
