When using a wireless hotspot try to limit activity to web surfing - TopicsExpress



          

When using a wireless hotspot try to limit activity to web surfing only. Because wireless hotspots are for open use, they dont provide much protection for your data. You should also disable peer-to-peer networking, file sharing, and remote access. Always use a good personal firewall and of course make sure all your software including your operating system (like Windows) is up to date and patched. You should never use hotspots for online banking, bill paying, or for making purchases that require you to give out confidential information such as a credit card number. - The SANS Institute
