At work or back home \u2014 and even on vacation \u2014 we are always at risk. Cybercriminals have various ways to reach us wherever we are. For example, they can use public Wi-Fi to steal users\u2019 banking data. Travelers often take the bait because open Wi-Fi is the only option many of them have to stay connected.<\/p>\n

Public Wi-Fi serves hundreds of thousands of users every day, and many of those users think that it is secure. Of more than 10,000 international travelers Kaspersky Lab interviewed recently, 82% used open networks on their vacations or business trips.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Lab surveyed 11,850 people from 23 countries<\/a>, all of whom had traveled abroad during the past year. As it turns out, even cautious people forget about security while traveling. They\u2019ll connect to any available network as long as it\u2019s free. That habit is risky<\/a>.<\/p>\n
