Mass users and scattered Internet habits make public WiFi a mandatory requirement in the mobile era. With this feature, 900 million users have introduced WiFi common keys that provide free network services in the past four years. Google and Facebook have launched similar services in several regions. However, in recent years, the media has repeatedly reported that user accounts have been stolen due to the use of public WiFi. The public has great concerns about the security of public WLANs: does the use of public WLANs cause personal information leakage or even property damage?
How is your personal data published? Maybe you drink coffee, use free WiFi, and then your personal information is stolen. In recent years, free public WiFi has become a hidden danger for citizens to disclose personal information and endanger network security. Therefore, WiFi management in public places has become the focus of attention. The corresponding countermeasures are currently being studied.
The hacker set up a disguised WLAN. The parasitic highlighting of the signal is very strong, which can suppress the coverage of the normal radio signal. Establish a conversation between the mobile phone and the network between the user’s monitoring level, and then operate the first WLAN through your fairing. In the WiFi network, your personal data is in a state of no data protection. This means that everything you do on your phone can be viewed.
How do hackers transfer your funds via WiFi?
Step 1: The hacker set up free WiFi to enable the victim to use the phone.
Step 2: If you pretend to be a website, write down the victim’s login password and personal data on the phishing website.
Step 3: Steal user information and steal the victim’s bank card number password.
Step 4: Install the victim’s mobile Trojan virus and block user SMS.
Step 5: Use Trojan horse virus to steal mobile phone payment verification code and complete the theft.
How do you protect network security? First, please do not connect to unknown wireless networks, online shopping, payment and other sensitive processes. It is recommended not to use public WiFi. Secondly, mobile phones, computers and other electronic products can kill viruses, install security software and frequently change passwords to ensure safety. Third, using a wifi jammer can effectively prevent automatic access to unknown WIFI, thus preventing your smart device from being attacked. Fourth, the person’s confidential information must be kept properly, not in places where e-mail, chat tools, and other account password information are exposed. Different websites and systems are recommended to use different accounts or passwords.
