Nomad Security Advisory

Why Avoid Public Airport Wi-Fi in SDR

Airport public networks require cumbersome web captive portals, collect personal data, and frequently time out after 15–30 minutes. Worse, unencrypted public hotspots are targets for packet sniffing.

Order your Uber or Cabify immediately while taxing to the gate.
Check into your Airbnb or coworking workspace without hunting for Wi-Fi passwords.
