Do you regularly connect to public Wi-Fi when you’re at work, running errands or traveling? If so, you may be vulnerable to security threats according to PSafe, a leading provider of mobile security and performance optimization solutions.
The company surveyed mobile phone users earlier this year and found that 39 percent claim they never share sensitive information on public Wi-Fi networks. However, these same individuals said they regularly log into social media accounts such as Facebook (34 percent), send email messages (31 percent) or make online purchases while they are out and about (16 percent)—all activities that expose personal and financial data to any hackers on the same public connection.
