Question 10 • NC-Foundations of Information Technology

What are a few precautions you could take while using a public Wi-Fi hot spot? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Be sure you have a firewall installed on your computer.
B
Be sure the name of the public network you are connecting to is legitimate.
C
Check your online banking to make sure there are no unauthorized transactions.
D
If you don’t need to use the Internet on your wireless device, avoid using the hot spot.

Explanation

A firewall helps protect your computer from unwanted network traffic, and checking that the hot spot’s name is legitimate helps you avoid connecting to a fraudulent network. If you do not need internet access, avoiding the hot spot reduces your exposure to risks. Checking your bank account for unauthorized transactions can help you notice fraud, but it is not a precaution to take while using public Wi-Fi.
