Wi-Fi being used to steal from travelers

September 27th, 2007

Hackers are finding new ways to steal sensitive information from internet users. Now their target is travelers. Cyber criminals are using Wi-Fi networks at such hot spots as airports to gain access to users’ systems.

Those air service companies which are adding Wi-Fi service ever since this discovery, will have to do it extra carefully and use maximum security and firewalls. For this moment the best and probably the only one defense against hackers, according to wapt.com is strong anti-virus and anti-spyware software. 

As customer service is becoming a very important part even in such businesses as air traveling, and Wi-Fi is a necessity for a number of clients, it’s a must to add it and it’s a must to keep it safe. For this moment it is highly recommended to don’t buy anything, don’t use credit card and don’t send any sensitive information in hot spots.
