2. Free Wi-Fi problem

 2.My brother always uses public libraries conections to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…

I don´t think is a good idea to do that because...

The biggest threat to free Wi-Fi security is the ability for the hacker to position himself between you and the connection point. So instead of talking directly with the hotspot, you're sending your information to the hacker.

While working in this setup, the hacker has access to every piece of information you're sending out on the Internet: important emails, credit card information and even security credentials to your business network so it´s so dangerous for him and the information of his clients

Hackers can also use an unsecured Wi-Fi connection to distribute malware. If you allow file-sharing across a network, the hacker can easily plant infected software on your computer.

Here are some tips so he can protect himself:

1. Turn on your VPN: A VPN encrypts the connections between your device and the VPN server. This prevents anyone who tries to intercept your WiFi connection on an unsecured public WiFi network

2. Check that your antivirus is up and running.

3. Avoid filling in sensitive information (passwords, credit card details, SSN, home address, etc.) while connected to public networks.

4. Scan your devices for malware with antivirus software.

5. Do the work in another moment or with a more secure Wi-Fi (in your house, a friend house, etc.)
