question 10 of 10
true or false: you can use public wi-fi to do online banking as long as you visit encrypted and secure websites.
false because the strong passwords make you safe not the sites encryption.
true because public wi-fi is safe for online banking.
false because you may be using a wi-fi access point and visiting a spoofed site.
true because as long as your passwords are strong you will be safe.

Explanation:

Public Wi - Fi networks are often unsecured. Even if you visit encrypted websites, there's a risk of using a rogue Wi - Fi access point (a fake one set up by attackers). Attackers can use such access points to direct you to spoofed (fake) websites that look like legitimate banking sites but are designed to steal your information. Strong passwords are important, but they don't protect against all threats on public Wi - Fi, and site encryption alone isn't sufficient when the network itself is untrusted. Public Wi - Fi is not inherently safe for online banking.

Answer:

False because you may be using a Wi - Fi access point and visiting a spoofed site.
