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

number, Web site passwords, or other sensitive data, it can be used for identity theft and other criminal activities.

For this project, research these and any other possible risks you can think of related to using a Wi-Fi hotspot. 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?
