Traveling this summer? Consider this before using airport Wi-Fi and charging ports

In light of the upcoming summer travel season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued recommendations to ensure the safety of airport Wi-Fi and charging ports. Travelers are advised to avoid using public USB charging stations, as they can pose a risk of data theft or malware infection. Instead, it is suggested to use a portable power bank or adapter to charge devices. Additionally, the TSA cautions against connecting to public airport Wi-Fi networks, as they may be susceptible to hacking, potentially exposing personal and financial information. To mitigate these risks, the TSA recommends using a personal or company-provided virtual private network (VPN) when accessing the internet, as well as being cautious of unsecured networks. Travelers are also advised to keep their devices updated with the latest security patches and to be vigilant about suspicious activities or unauthorized access attempts. By following these guidelines, travelers can enjoy a safer and more secure experience while navigating the airport this summer.
