[Scan-DC] xfinity wifi / cable wifi / cox wifi

Definitely agree with that statement. 

Highly suggest that a VPN be used whenever anyone connects to a WiFi network that is not your own. 

There are plenty of VPN providers out there. I personally user VyprVPN.

You know how easy to is to rename a WiFi connection to “comcast”,  “xfinitywifi”, “CoxWiFi”  or a name it a coffee shop or restaurants name and then have people connect to it thinking they are connecting to those companies WiFi connection and then sniff all the traffic and collect user names, passwords, bank information, credit card data, etc? Its very easy to do.

So use a VPN.
