3.2 Safe Device & Network Usage

  • Public Wi-Fi Risks:

    • Man-in-the-Middle (MitM): Attackers sit between your laptop and the router, intercepting data.

    • Evil Twin: A fake Wi-Fi network named “Starbucks_Free_WiFi” set up by a hacker.

    • Defense: Always use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which creates an encrypted tunnel for your data.

  • Physical Security:

    • Tailgating: An attacker follows an employee through a secure door. Politeness is a vulnerability. Do not hold the door for strangers.

    • USB Drop Attacks: Attackers leave infected USB drives in the parking lot labeled “Payroll 2025” or “Executive Salaries.” Curiosity leads employees to plug them in, compromising the network.
