Summer travel often means connecting to hotel, airport, café, or public Wi-Fi networks - but scammers can take advantage of unsecured connections to intercept personal and financial information. Logging into bank accounts or entering sensitive details on public Wi-Fi can put your information at risk if you’re not careful.

Stolen passwords from unsecured logins.
🚨 WARNING SIGNS:
Multiple Wi-Fi networks with similar names.

Avoid accessing banking apps or sensitive accounts on public Wi-Fi.
Use your cellular data or a trusted hotspot whenever possible.
Turn off automatic Wi-Fi connections on your device.
Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
