PURPOSE Public Wi-Fi can expose traffic, credentials, and device activity if used carelessly. BE CAUTIOUS Avoid accessing sensitive systems, banking, payroll, or confidential work data on unknown public networks unless approved protections are in place. VERIFY NETWORKS Use the official network name when possible. Attackers sometimes create fake hotspots with similar names. TURN OFF AUTO-CONNECT Do not allow devices to automatically reconnect to unknown networks. BEST PRACTICE Disconnect from public Wi-Fi when finished.
