I’ve been facing this issue for some time because I always have to connect to public WiFi in hotels, Starbucks and airports to open some confidential apps as bank accounts, password manager, etc. and I was wondering here what do other nomads do to protect themselves in this scenario?
It’s fine. Save your data. You don’t need to be this paranoid. HTTPS takes care of 99% of what people do on their computers in public spaces.
People are fussing about the wrong things, when they should be fussing about other things.
There have been basically zero reported cases of people’s bank accounts being stolen because they used the internet at starbucks.
There are millions from people falling victim to social engineering scams, and OSINT inference attacks.
