Cyber security problem 1

 - My brother always uses public conections, like public libraries or cultural centers, to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…

Information about the problem

  • Five good tips to avoid or solve the problem:

1. Use a Reliable VPN (Virtual Private Network):

      

·         A VPN encrypts all your traffic, even on public networks.

·         It makes your online activity invisible to others on the same network.

·         Good VPNs: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN (free limited version available).


2. Avoid Accesing Sensitive Services:

Avoid Accessing Sensitive Services


·         Never log in to banking, work dashboards, or confidential platforms on public Wi-Fi unless protected by a VPN.

·         Wait until on a secure network — or use mobile data for safer access if necessary.

3. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Everywhere:

·         Even if someone gets your login credentials, they can’t access accounts without your second authentication method.

·         Enable 2FA on email, work apps, cloud storage, etc.

4. Turn Off Auto-Connect and File Sharing:



·         Disable auto-join for open networks and file/printer sharing in your device settings.

·         On Windows/Mac, set public Wi-Fi networks as “Public” (not “Home” or “Trusted”).

5. Create a Personal Hotspot (When Possible):


·         If he has a phone with mobile data, he can create a secure hotspot and work from that.

·         Far safer than public Wi-Fi, especially if he has unlimited or large data plans.
