I quit watching when the narrator said that when you get onto one of these bad networks that they can see everything that you’re doing. It really just isn’t true. Most of the communications in your various apps are encrypted. Your email is encrypted, your web browsing is encrypted, your cloud storage is encrypted, and your chatted is encrypted. Yes, there is some truth here but this video is not the place to get it.

Right. The user would have to be tricked into downloading a keylogger or giving access to your device. Some things like session hijacking could happen but mostly the hackers are looking for easy targets. Wealthy to middle class tourists who have little security and no brains.

If something sounds too good to be true, or just doesn't sound, feel, or look right, there's probably something weird going on. Be safe everyone
