Two UBC professors spoke to local media outlets about risks associated with using free public Wi-Fi.
Ronald Cenfetelli, an accounting and information systems professor at the UBC Sauder School of Business, told CBC that public Wi-Fi users face a risk of sharing personal information to hackers when logged on to a network.
Hasan Cavusoglu, also a professor at Sauder, spoke to the Vancouver Sun (also in The Province).
