✅ Cyber-Bob’s Daily Cyber Safety Tip — #104

“The Wi-Fi With the Cute Name Might Bite.”


Public Wi-Fi is the digital equivalent of free candy on the sidewalk — looks tempting, but you probably shouldn’t put it in your mouth.

 Cyber-Bob has seen it a thousand times:
Someone connects to “FreeCoffeeShopWiFi” or “Airport_Guest_FAST” and suddenly their private info is streaking across the internet like a streaker at a ballgame — uninvited and unforgettable. 😅


🔹 Today’s Tip

If you absolutely must use public Wi-Fi:

Never log in to your bank, email, Medicare account, or anything involving personal info.
Avoid online shopping — especially anything that requires a card number.
Stick to harmless browsing, like reading the news or watching cat videos.
✅ Better yet, use your phone’s hotspot when possible. It’s your connection — not the café’s mystery box.

Treat public Wi-Fi like a bus station:
Lots of people around… and not all of them are looking out for your best interest.


🧠 Cyber-Bob Says:

“Free Wi-Fi is fine… as long as you’re also fine with free spectators.”
