The various methods of connecting to the Internet wherever you are are are a blessing for those people who travel continuously and who cannot stop being connected, because their work depends on it; However, this blessing is becoming a big problem due to the number of cyber threats that trigger the theft of information from computers. One of these threats is known as Evil Twin, which works under the Wi-Fi connection through public access points to connect to the Internet called "HotSpot".When the user connects in a public place he is often entering a fake public network that has been set up by a hacker, who squeezes and obtains information from the Internet user such as credit card data, email passwords, industrial data, plans and whatever is useful. It should be noted that this threat also affects instant messaging.
Ideally, users of Wi-Fi networks should be forewarned and take into account some recommendations when connecting such as changing their access codes regularly, not answering emails with questions, looking for secure connections, disabling your Wi-Fi card on your laptop every time you stop using it, detect that the web page you are monitoring is encrypted, do not allow pop-ups, distrust pages that are not familiar to you, among others. Also at the time of connecting to a public network you must consult the appropriate person of the place to know how is the mode of connection of the same, in such a way that the link is satisfactory and real.
