Preview โ€” The Goal

๐ŸŽฏ The Goal: Free airport and coffee-shop networks are a playground for thieves. On open Wi-Fi, a 'Man-in-the-Middle' attacker can sit between you and the internet โ€” intercepting logins, or serving you a fake network entirely ('Airport_Free_WiFi_2') that exists purely to harvest what you type. Rule of thumb: never touch banking or sensitive work apps on public Wi-Fi without a trusted, encrypted VPN active.
