Do you think you can keep your business information safe just by not getting involved in something fishy? Well, you're probably wrong. If you're connected to a public Wifi network (even if it's your own network with multiple connections) on an Android device then every bit of your data can be acquired and controlled by a hacker. Not only when you're connected to a public hotspot but also when you're using the regular mobile data service.
If you underestimate the attackers, you'll probably be ending up with a leaked business information on the web. even if the attacker gets one of your important credentials it can be misused or modified, which is incredibly dangerous!
And, there's a simple solution to keep your information safe from the snoopers. And, that's - by using a VPN service. In a nutshell, a VPN service encrypts all of your network communications at the drop of a hat and prevents eavesdropping (Wikipedia defines - Eavesdropping is secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent). Also, at some point the ISP (Internet Service Provider) can't track your activity either. That's the best thing for a user obsessed with privacy rights and a user who wants to protect his/her information. Say what? You're not involved with anything bad, what should you fear Well, you've got a great thought on your mind but you're still missing the big picture - monetary losses & leaked business plans.
