Wireless Security at ChurchTechMatters
In a recent article at ChurchTechMatters, the subject of browsers and wireless security was brought up. Here is a snippet:
...Be pro-active when using any public wi-fi network, I did alot in my hotel room last week on their public, unsecured wireless network. The same rules apply. Many churches have unsecure wi-fi that anyone can use, these same rules apply. If you don’t use Firefox, I would recommend doing that, at the minimum, even for being on the internet at home...
When it comes to wireless security, there are two things to look at: the device and how you are connecting. For the most part, if you are connecting via cellular, you are usually under a pretty secure connection. However that is not always the case that your info is completly safe. Many wireless providers do log your data and where you go, and so there is some measure of openness there. If you are using wifi, the best and most secure thing is to always connect in places where you can use a secure connection. And od take advantage of cache cleaners if they are available for your mobile browser. No need in losing your device and someone coming back to pick up your browsing where you left it off.
