Scammers in a Wi-Fi Wonderland

Scammers in a Wi-Fi Wonderland | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Numerous forms of malware can be delivered over unsecured connections, so when traveling for the holidays you’re more vulnerable than ever to a cyber break in.

 

That’s why on the road, in the air, or otherwise on the go this holiday season, it’s more important than ever that you watch where you connect.
