About WiFi Security
Today I am discussing about Wifi Security Because its dangerous to connect insecure wifi network. When You are connected to insecure WiFi you are on the way to get hacked..., or connected to a public WiFi or connected to a WiFi who's password is easy to hack.
Anyone connected to the same WiFi as you ; can sniff the traffic over the network and have access to any account you log in to. Facebook, YouTube, Online Banking... anything.
To Secure Your account :
- Only access your accounts Which are important on only trusted WiFi networks.
- DO NOT use WEP for your router security, use WPA or preferably WPA2. WEP keys are extremely easy to hack.
Keep in Mind #1
- If your router has WPS enabled (wireless protected setup),plz DISABLE IT. An attacker can crack it easily and figure out your WPA2 key.
- If you think someone on your network may be trying to access your accounts, browse using HTTPS. Most popular websites support HTTPS (Facebook, Gmail, etc) and this prevents most network sniffing applications fail to retrieve your account info. You can use the HTTPS version of a website simply by replacing HTTP to HTTPS in the URL.
- Example: https://www.google.com/ instead of http://www.google.com/ Some hacks out there can redirect you from the secure HTTPS to HTTP, so if you're on sure of the network you're connected to, stay aware of the URL.
- Don't buy things online while connected to a public network.
- Remember If its free it's not Secure.
