Hey Peter,

Thanks for the comment. Although I did mention that “hackers can set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots that resemble legitimate public Wi-Fi networks”, I should have mentioned that, if it is possible, check (i.e. sign, menu message, asking an employee) that you are actually signing into a legitimate public Wi-Fi.

Make sure the name you click matches the name they provide, looking carefully for any similar names or slight typos.

For example Free WiFi and Free-WiFi
