Please do not believe in any publicity activities that use small investments to obtain huge profits. Please contact us in time to prevent more people from being deceived if you find out something wrong.

Avoid access to public or free public Wi-Fi
1. The hidden programs in public Wi-Fi can tamper with web pages in the low-risk risk environment, causing the spam information continuously pop out, or insert hidden links in users’ mobile phones to achieve malicious promotion and advertisement brushing.

2. The medium-risk risk is mainly to control user networks, including DNS hijacking and ARP attacks. Among them, DNS attacks can control the user’s internet access range, causing users to be unable to access network, or link to malicious URLs. The process of ARP attacks is different, but the results are similar, which can also cause user network interruption.

3. High-risk risks may lead to the disclosure of user passwords and data. In addition, in public Wi-Fi networks, hackers can also obtain sensitive personal information of users through phishing, such as name, gender, work unit, bank account, etc., to further implement precise fraud.
