App review: Skycure for Andoird/IOS
Have you ever used a public Wi-Fi while you were out and about to access your personal accounts online? How sure were you that they were secure? Was it under a name that you recognised? Such as BT, O2 or even MacDonalds! Yes, they provide Wi-Fi hotspots too! Well, ty are not always what they seem. More and more fake hotspots are popping up over the country. When you access the internet to thm, you are opening up your handset to full access from a 3rd party.
They will be able to access everything on your phone, from your callend, apps you are using as well as all account details stored on the device, and don't forget all your personal social messages!
This leads me onto this week's recommendation for a business mobile user, SkyCure has produced an app that will help protect you against these rogue hotspots. Their app, available for Android and Apple will show what hotspots in your area are reported as fake and a high risk to your security on your phone. Free to download from the app store, this program is defiantly a must in today's world!
Here is some information from the creator of the program;
