Public Wifi Your Data Is My Data Too

Creepy Tech

This week we are going to do a deep dive into the darker side of public wifi how your data can be accessed and how you can protect yourself while navigating the ins and outs of public hotspots. The internet has been around since the 1960s. Originally the United States government commissioned for a system to be built that would connect computers in a network that would essentially create a communication system that could get information from one to the other quickly and without fault. Through the 1980s a lot of private funding as well as some public funding was used to financially support research into making this network of computers better and faster mainly for military use but by the 90s the idea to make this network available to more people begin to spread like wild fire. Companies all over the world began investing in making this network more commercially available. Most of us cant picture a world where we cant unlock our phone and google that ridiculous question that’s been popping in and out of our mind all day and then getting an answer immediately.
