Have you ever used a hotel’s secure Wi-Fi network while staying there as a guest?
How about the secure Wi-Fi network that serves the building you work in – or even the network at your church?
Many of us routinely use these types of secured Wi-Fi networks without giving them a second thought, because…well, they’re encrypted, and therefore safe, right?
