Looking ahead to 2013, hotels are looking to provide guests their wishes of free wi-fi access in lobbies, common areas, guest rooms and suites. While some hotel chains will continue to insist on collecting fees as high as $30 for internet access, travelers have made it clear that this is a top priority amenity and it is expected to be free. While costs for hotels will vary depending on location, country among other factors, travelers need to be mindful about potential security issues while using insecure internet connections. Malware perpetrators will be lurking and waiting for opportunities to install malicious software by innocuously offering "updates" or program upgrades that contain malware.
It is recommended that access to insecure network should be limited in duration and log out or shutdown should be done, not leaving the connection on. Also, avoid the urge to click on any pop-up of "free offers", upgrades etc...
