What does it mean when my phone says that my WiFi is not secure?
In: Technology
It means that the wifi doesn’t have protections in place that prevent mean people doing bad things to you by watching what you send to the internet through your wifi. It’s kind of like if the postal service had an open door policy where anyone could open any letter they wanted, so it’s best not to send things you don’t want other people knowing through that postal service (like bank login details). Wifi that anyone can connect to, like the free wifi in hotels or cafes, are open to this. Ideally what you want to be doing is using a postal service where only you have the key, so no one can open your letters – only do important things on the internet when you’re connected to your home, password-protected wifi.
