Some people prefer switching to public networks when there are some available ones. This helps them save precious megabytes and pay less for traffic. However, public networks put users under a risk of hacking attacks. Thus, people using free networks often suffer from strangers who copy their passwords and even get access to their banking accounts. So, either get a reputable VPN that is trusted and reliable or stick to your mobile network. They are not 100% safe, but amount of hackers’ attacks is way much lower.
