Half Internet users do not recognize unsafe wifi

Over half of the Internet users see no difference between a secure and unsafe Wi-Fi network.

Of the respondents, 87 percent could even risk being logged into a public network for example on social media or e-mail. Banking is also done or retrieved personal information via a public network.

For longer, experts have warned about the risks of public networks. Users of Wi-Fi networks that are not protected by a username and password risk others to view their data.
