Unsafe Wi-Fi Networks at the Paris Olympics
Kaspersky Report Raises Concerns
Nearly 25% of Free Wi-Fi Spots Pose Security Risks
With the Paris Summer Olympic Games just around the corner, security experts are raising concerns about the safety of free Wi-Fi networks in the city.
Kaspersky Labs recently analyzed nearly 25,000 free Wi-Fi spots in Paris and found that nearly 25% of them had weak or no encryption, making them susceptible to hacking and data breaches.
This is particularly concerning, as many people rely on free Wi-Fi when traveling to save on data roaming charges. However, connecting to an unsecured network can put your personal information and devices at risk.
Kaspersky experts urge visitors to the Paris Olympics to be cautious when using free Wi-Fi networks and to take steps to protect their security, such as using a VPN or avoiding sensitive transactions while connected to public Wi-Fi.
