How secure is Pluto Wireless Internet?
Stories about wireless security show up in the media on a regular basis, but they rarely tell the whole story. There are two important factors that are often overlooked. First, the term “wireless” is very broad. While there are, in fact, some lingering security flaws in Wi-Fi technologies, fixed wireless technologies, such as those that Pluto Wireless uses, are fairly secure. The second commonly overlooked factor is that the Internet itself is not secure. With a wired connection, it is fairly trivial for someone to physically hack your data through a telephone junction box. Relatively speaking, Pluto Wireless Internet’s network is more secure than comparable wired alternatives such as DSL and dial-up, but that’s not really important. Once your data leaves your computer, it’s a big bad world out there. It is important to take the same precautions with wireless as you would with any other Internet connection: • Use anti-virus software. • Be cautious about where you send private data. Mak
