How should a user protect himself/herself when using a FON WiFi network?
• Change the default settings, such as the administrative password and WPA encryption key, to strengthen the protection of the FON access point • Install a personal firewall on all machines in the home network to guard against potential attacks originating from the private WLAN • Install anti-virus software, update security patches and enable a personal firewall on any mobile device before connecting to a FON WiFi network • Encrypt sensitive or confidential data stored in mobile devices as well as communication connections to company servers or other transactional services • Keep your access point patched with the latest fixes.
