17% of Wi‑Fi networks in World Cup host cities are insecure - Revista SUMMA
Summary
Kaspersky analyzed more than 84,000 free Wi‑Fi signals in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey and found that 17% of open access points are insecure. The report warns that weak or absent encryption can expose travelers to data theft, traffic interception, fake hotspots, and credential attacks. It also notes that many networks still enable WPS, which creates additional exposure even when WPA2 or WPA3 is present. The article recommends using a VPN, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, updated software, and a trusted security suite to reduce risk while traveling.
