Get ready, There Danger Lurking Hostpot Network Commercial Not Safe!

You often use the public hotspot network service? Are you more interested in the access with a password (key) or open (free)? Hm, it seems you now need to be careful when using public hotspot service without a password (free). The reason is based on a national survey conducted by USA Today said that currently there are about 32% of people surveyed in the United States recognizes that the services they use Wi-Fi hotspots are not given a password or key by the provider. That way they can be copied directly into and use the Wi-Fi network services without verifying it first.

Yes, what is virtually, of course, this is very risky when examined from the level of security service provider in question. Because every person who may be either unidentified nowhere could just as arbitrarily go in and infiltrate doing things that are not desirable.
Obviously this is really a problem that could threaten at any moment, remember the people behind the service users a free hotspot like it might be difficult to detect. And this is certainly a big question, how the country as powerful as the superpower in the field of technology is still providing services that are not given access hostspot safety. Moreover, according to the survey, the number obtained is very surprising. Given the amount that far exceeds the 32% or increased dramatically (almost double) compared with the results of the 2008 survey which only reach 18% only.
"People who do not understand technology equipped only faith alone," explained Chet Wisniewski, a senior security adviser who now works in network security firm Sophos. In addition, having an open WiFi connection like that can give up space on your computer network to the intruder or sniffing (snippers) to tear apart to find passwords or financial information is highly sensitive. For example, the presence of an open WiFi network providers in places like McDonalds and Panera might be able to provide a gap for users who have good intentions do not feel comfortable behind the existing connection.
"In fact there are many consumers have not taken steps to protect themselves on their own," said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director at one of the Wi-Fi Alliance as one of the non-profit trade group is tasked to conduct the survey.
"Most of the public hotspot network service (public) does not provide security protection, so that when connected to Wi-Fi is certainly very unpleasant public can access the Internet in general, the existing users do not need to send any sensitive data like bank account login information ... this is very similar to the seat belt that you use in your car, and therefore the seat belt (which is identified with WiFi security in question) will not protect you unless you really want to use it ".
Therefore, to avoid things that are not desirable, it is good to always use the key or password to protect your WiFi network service connections. This is certainly very important, because it can keep the network at any time of the entry and exit of visitors and unwanted intruders. Then what about the hotspot network service providers around your own?
