Review & Description
Picture the scene: Its Summer 2012 and you’ve just touched down in London, tickets primed, to watch your favourite events at the Olympic Games. You check into the Days Suite hotel, kick off your shoes, and sink back into a comfortable chair after a long and tiring journey.
You’ve been out of the loop for the last 12 hours so you take out your smartphone to see if you’re able to pick up email. Luckily your phone picks up the Days Suite Wi-Fi network and within seconds you’re online without even having to enter a password. Result! Why can’t all hotels be so accommodating?
Every evening for the next week, after spending your days taking in the London landmarks and watching the Games, you use the free Days Suite Wi-Fi to keep in touch with your friends and family, update your social networks, check your bank balances, and conduct other financial transactions.
When it’s time to check out, you settle up with the receptionist and thank him for the use of the free Wi-Fi. But he looks at you blankly and informs you that Days Suite doesn’t have free Wi-Fi.
Confused, you shrug your shoulders, jump into the waiting taxi, and head for the airport. You have a long journey ahead.
But what just happened?
Unfortunately for you, the Days Suite Wi-Fi network was not what it seemed. And you’ve just become a victim of identity theft.
In "How NOT To Use Your Smartphone", computer security expert Rod Cambridge exposes the dangers of smartphone and tablet usage and provides solutions, tips, and advice to help you avoid being hacked through your mobile device and being made a victim of financial, banking, credit card, and utilities fraud, loss of social and professional reputation, and more.
