Google is plannig on setting up free wifi hotspots in the Chelsea, a New York City area. It would give people in the area free area which would be very easily accessible. The only problem is how safe would the wifi be for the area, im sure in an open wifi zone users would be vunerable to hackers looking at bank accounts, password info and looking at email. “In a world of increasing connectivity, we should absolutely assume that consumers will perform the same types of financial and commercial transactions on free Wi-Fi networks as they would from a paid service or secure home network,” David Britton, vice-president of industry solutions at 41st Parameter, told SecurityWatch.With this potential risk would you use the wifi in the area?
