Room Key? Check. Wi-Fi? Double Check.
Whether you're planning your fall break or taking a retirement trip now that your schedule is your own, a little caution goes a long way.
Microsoft recently warned that hackers are targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks to steal credentials and sensitive information. Cybercriminals can create fake hotel Wi-Fi networks — sometimes even naming them to look like the hotel's official network — or use convincing pop-ups that trick guests into entering usernames, passwords or payment details.
Before connecting, confirm the official Wi-Fi network with hotel staff, avoid entering credentials into unexpected prompts and use a VPN whenever possible. And save anything sensitive — like signing in to MyTRS — for a connection you trust. Your phone's cellular data is a safer bet than open hotel Wi-Fi.
