How do you prevent hackers on public Wi-Fi?

[Perry Fatima]

I often work from cafes and airports, but I keep reading about hackers stealing data through public Wi-Fi. What’s the safest approach to keep my emails and files protected in those situations?

I used to ignore that risk until one trip where I noticed unusual login attempts on my accounts. That was a wake-up call. Now, I never connect without using a VPN and I avoid accessing sensitive accounts unless absolutely necessary. I also encrypt files before sending them—so even if someone intercepts traffic, they can’t actually use the data. These steps made me feel much more secure while traveling. Honestly, what made it easier for me was reading up on practical solutions at https://mobilecon.info/. They explained in plain English how to protect yourself without turning into a tech expert. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re working on the go.
