Surf everywhere and anywhere in full safety - How to stay secure when using the public WiFi hotspots included in many Sky broadband packages

Security is of the utmost importance whether you are using your home network or browsing via your WiFi connection but, while you can surf in complete security using your protected home connection, how can you ensure that you can access the internet in full safety whilst using a public WiFi service?

WiFi services are common in cafes, restaurants, shops and other outlets, and there are even hotspots in our parks and streets that give us the superfast connection we need to browse on the go. There are a few tips that every internet user can utilise however to ensure that innocent browsing whilst on the move doesn’t turn into something more sinister.

 Sky broadband
When accessing the WiFi cloud hotspots that are free to use when you invest in one of the Sky broadband packages, it is vital that you turn off the share function on your laptop or other devices like tablets and mobiles. This function allows you to share music and files with remote devices but can leave you vulnerable to hackers if you don’t switch it off whilst using public networks.

Make sure your laptop or mobile phone isn’t set to automatically connect to hotspots too, often connection can happen by simply walking past a cafĂ© or another establishment that has a hotspot or WiFi network and this can leave you vulnerable to hackers and other fraudsters without you even knowing.

You may have seen the ‘HTTPS’ secure connection with its padlock symbol pop up in your address bar every now and again, this ensures that your data transfer is encrypted but not all websites and services provide this. You can now download an extension for your browser called HTTPS Everywhere which ensures you are protected every time!
