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…

• Five good tips to avoid or solve the problem:

2. Avoid Accesing Sensitive Services:
