Public WiFi network is extremely convenient if you need to do something urgent with internet, but there are a few problems with using a public WiFi network. The open nature of public network allows for snooping. When you are connected to a public WiFi network like one at a coffee shop, railroad station or airport, the network is usually unencrypted, the traffic of unencrypted network is clearly visible to everyone, people can see what web pages you are visiting, what information you are typing into web forms, and even see which encrypted websites you are connected to.
More dangerously, the WiFi hotspot you are connected to may be malicious. This may be because the hotspot gets infected, but it may also be because you are connected to a honeypot network. For example, if you are connected to “Public Wi-Fi” in a public place, you cannot absolutely sure whether the network is a legitimate public Wi-Fi network and not one set up by an attacker in an attempt to trick people into connecting.
