Airport. Hotel. Café. Conference venue. What do they all have in common? Public Wi-Fi. And potential cyber risks. Cybercriminals increasingly use so-called "Evil Twin" attacks, creating fake Wi-Fi networks that closely resemble legitimate ones in airports, hotels, cafés, train stations and other public spaces. Once connected, users may unknowingly expose sensitive information such as passwords, e-mails or banking details. At Proximus, building a trusted digital world goes beyond secure connectivity. It also means helping people recognize cyber threats and make safer choices online. A few simple precautions can significantly reduce the risk: 📱 Use your mobile data whenever possible ⚙️ Disable automatic Wi-Fi connections on your devices 🔒 Avoid online banking or entering passwords while connected to public Wi-Fi A visible Wi-Fi password is not necessarily a sign of security. Public network credentials are often widely shared and may be known to cybercriminals as well. 👉 Before travelling or connecting on the go, take a moment to review the connectivity and roaming options available through your telecom provider. #CyberSecurity #DigitalTrust
