Stick with cat videos in public!

It’s perfectly safe to surf the internet or, say, watch cute animal videos on the Web using a Wifi hotspot in public—but do wait until you get home to access sensitive accounts like your bank or credit card. And whenever you use a public hotspot, make sure to only visit sites that start with “https” (the “s” stands for secure!) instead of “http”. “Also, when in public use your hand to shield your screen to avoid prying eyes whenever you’re typing in a password or account username,” advises Siciliano.
