How hackers exploit public Wi-Fi: Hackers can set up fake Wi-Fi networks (called “evil twins”) or intercept data on unsecured networks to steal personal info like passwords or credit card numbers.

- Avoid logging into sensitive accounts (like banking).
- Only visit sites with HTTPS.
- Turn off auto-connect to networks you don’t trust.
