This information can then be packaged and shared with advertising companies so that you\u2019re targeted with offers and other enticements.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that. Public Wi-Fi can be a place where hackers set up fake networks that then track all your activities and harvest your data. To avoid this from happening, you\u2019ll want to make sure you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) when online, as this encrypts your data and…<\/p>\n
