Stay safe online
Safe networks
It’s good to be extra careful whenever you go online using a network you don’t know or trust – like Internet cafés. The service provider can monitor all traffic on their network, which could include your personal information. When you connect through unencrypted WiFi networks that don’t require a password (like WPA2 keys), anyone in the vicinity can monitor the information passing between your computer and the WiFi hotspot.
If you use WiFi at home, you should make sure you use a password to secure your connection. Just follow the instructions provided by your ISP or router manufacturer to set your own password for the router instead of using the router default password, which is known to criminals. You should use the WPA2 standard.
