How can you prevent others from eavesdropping on network traffic when operating a PC on a public Wi-Fi hotspot?
- Create unique and strong passwords
- Connect with a VPN service
- Use WPA2 encryption
- Disable Bluetooth
Explanation: You should use an encrypted VPN service to prevent others from intercepting your information (known as ‘eavesdropping’) over a public wireless network. This service gives you secure access to the Internet, by encrypting the connection between your device and the VPN server. Even if hackers intercept a data transmission in an encrypted VPN tunnel, they will not be able to decipher it.
