Description
States are compiling lists of open Wi-Fi access points for residents who do not have home broadband access. While accessing these sites may be in violation of social distancing and shelter-in-place directives, some people may choose to use this option.
Open Wi-Fi SSIDs are potentially a security risk to users. Use of VPNs and secure website is highly recommended.
Challenges
- Accessing networks while Maintaining social distancing and abiding by shelter-in-place orders.
- Implementing VPNs and ensuring use of secure websites on open SSID access points.
- Avoiding "man in the middle" attacks where malicious access points masquerade as trusted access points.
