Imagine This Scenario, Not Happening To You!
Hacker Dude or Hacker Dudette:
“Here’s another one, not paying attention! Yee Ha! She’s sitting in this cafe, minding her business, using the ‘trusted’ Wi-Fi network & I’ll just shimmy over to her & open my laptop… Still not noticing me…what’s wrong with people? Locked in their little world, with the front door wide open!!”
“So, let me see which network she’s using and see if I can grab her login information…. my little fake router is in the corner of the café & no one has noticed it! Oh yeah! Got her! She didn’t notice the ‘stronger than usual’ signal of my rogue access point device, looking like it belongs here! Since I’m up to no good anyway, I’ll just go ahead & send a bit of malware for my troubles.”
“Good night, from the Cyber Pirate”.”
“Be back next week for another mark! It’s just this easy!”

The journey to stay aware of online security never ends!
