##Threats
If you connect to the 'Starbucks' wireless network or any other untrusted WiFi access points all of your traffic could be intercepted. Anyone else on the network is likely able to also view your traffic.
##Best Practices
- Turn off 'Automatically connect to WiFi' on your laptop(s), tablet(s), phone(s) and any other devices. This is especially true for any devices that you constantly take with you while travelling.
- DON'T check Email, do bank transactions, or access social media accounts on any public or untrusted access point without a VPN.
- If the properties of the WiFi access point say it's secured by WEP, it is actually not secure and should not be trusted.
