Is it safe to use public Wi-Fi hotspots in Amtrak trains?

Hello, I use trains rather often and now my favourite Amtrak trains have told the papers that they are to equip all their trains with a free public Wi-Fi till the late summer. I’m not an expert in PC’s and all those gadgets, I just would like to know whether it is safe to use those public hotspots, I need my personal data safe.

With all the reports on the harmful uses of consumer drones and near misses with planes, it is not surprising that another new technology is making headlines: “counter-drone” or “anti-aircraft” measures. drones “.

DroneGun DroneGun GPS  jammer drone has successfully passed the French military DREP test, which measures electromagnetic emission levels on human users. In fact, as Bloomberg points out, it’s not a gun as such, but a drone jammer – the HP 47 Counter UAV Jammer, to be precise. It does not pull the plane out of the sky: instead, it prevents it from being remotely controlled, letting it hover in the air, and stops the images or video sent back to its owner.

The technology of gun scrambling drone has become the hottest technology

Second, Wi-Fi is vulnerable to hacks. So, a hacker would be able to hack the network and with using Wi-Fi exploits, such as weak encryption protocols, or open SSID broadcasting. It takes time, for example, if the hotspot uses WEP encryption, it will take at least 10 minutes to hack that network, and if it is WPA2 – hacker will have the chance to crack it only when someone connects the network.
