Quiz zum Vortrag
Imagine you are accessing data via a public Wi-Fi hotspot on a website like this: http://www.mybank.com. The transferred data is not encrypted and a hacker could see what you are working on. True or false?
- True
- False
True or false? The s in https:// indicates a secure and encrypted internet connection between you and the website, even on public Wi-Fi.
- True
- False
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides the following:
- Encryption is a very important component of a secure VPN.
- A VPN hides your geo-location.
- A VPN allows you to communicate confidentially over a public network and it allows you to send voice, video or data.
- Using a VPN is safe, independent from personal behavior. You can even use simple passwords.
What do “Private Browsing” (Firefox) “Private Mode” (iExplorer) or “Incognito Mode” (Chrome) do?
- These modes makes browsing more secure, but they can’t prevent a hacker from listening to your browsing session in real time.
- These modes prevent the browser from saving your browsing history.
- It is a way to encrypt your data while surfing the internet.
- These modes hide the sites you visited from Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and your employer’s web servers.
How can a secure Wi-Fi Hotspot be identified?
- By the padlock icon.
- Secure hotspots indicate their extra secure properties in their name. Example: “Wi-Fi secure”
You can prevent your smartphone from automatically joining a network that you were previously logged into by activating “ask to join networks”. But why is this a security issue?
- A hacker can setup a fake hotspot with the same name and steal your password once you log in.
- It’s not a security issue. It is impossible for the hacker to find out your password for the hotspot.
