Protecting Sprint Users This Summer

There’s a terrific new blog post over at Sprint.com about the peace of mind that Sprint Secure Wi-Fi provides when you travel this summer.

I’d heard stories about people who’d had their data stolen while on Wi-Fi, but I guess I just hadn’t taken it seriously. In fact, someone once warned me about packet sniffers – where someone uses software to intercept and steal digital communications by grabbing “packets” of data that are being transmitted over Wi-Fi.

Luckily, I work for Sprint and remembered that we have an app – Sprint Secure Wi-Fi – to ensure that travelers, like me, can stay connected and keep their personal data secure. Basically, Sprint Secure Wi-Fi encrypts unsecured traffic. This is a fancy way of saying that this app converts data into a code, thereby preventing unauthorized access. To you and me, that means our mobile data will not be vulnerable.
