The free Wi-Fi network you always log in to at cafes and airports is not safe. If you are not careful you could end up leaking a lot of personal information including your passwords and even sensitive financial data such as bank account details. Host Pranay is joined by Rishi and Roydon to discuss the dangers of public Wi-Fi networks and what you can do to stay safe.

This involves taking some basic precautions and the discussion is easy to follow even if you know nothing about network security. It's shockingly easy for hackers to find a way to access all your personal data, but with a few small steps you can make it a lot harder for them to access it. All of that and more in this short and crisp episode of Orbital: The Gadgets 360 Podcast.
