Public Wi-Fi networks are a convenient way to stay connected, but they can also be a security risk. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities to steal your data.
Scammers can create fake Wi-Fi hotspots that look legitimate. When you connect, they can steal your personal information.
Microsoft recently discovered a new vulnerability (CVE-2024-30078) that allows hackers to attack devices on any public Wi-Fi network.
Hackers can send a malicious packet that gives them remote access to your computer. This attack is invisible, with no warning signs.
Microsoft released a fix for this vulnerability in their June update. Install it as soon as possible, even if you don't use public Wi-Fi.
Hackers can use the same technique on your home network if they gain access to your device.
Regularly installing Microsoft updates helps you stay protected against the latest cyber threats.
There's often a lag between when a vulnerability is discovered and when a patch is released. This is when hackers are most active.
Antimalware tools like Panda Dome can monitor your device for suspicious activity and block hacking attempts, even those using unknown vulnerabilities.
