Any data you send unsecured via the hotspot can be intercepted by a
criminal. In either case, if the thief intercepts your credit card

identity theft and other criminal activities.

For each risk, identify a possible precaution that can be taken to guard against that risk. If you have ever used a Wi-Fi hotspot, were you at risk? Knowing what you do now, would you take any new precautions the next time you use one? Is it possible to surf safely using a Wi-Fi hotspot?
