Jakob is stuck in the airport on a long layover while traveling for work. he sees two wi-fi’s he can log onto: one says airport wi-fi and the other says free airport wi-fi. he needs to sign on and pay some bills. which wi-fi option should he choose?

The probability of a larger population inside that airport using free Wi-Fi is 9 out of 10, against a few people who would choose to log on to a more secure connection. People would always choose the easy way to get things done. Accessing a free Wi-Fi zone exposes a user to a threat of hacking. While on a free connection; a large percentage of users are into social media, some may be sharing photos and videos, others are opening their emails or doing online banking and there are those who are just waiting for their next would-be-victim. 
Since Jakob will be logging into his account to pay his bills, it is wiser to use a secured Wi-Fi connection to protect his personal information.
