✅ 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. 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.”
