Where to find really free wifi in malls, forecourt, etc?

[Super7]

SGWireless etc are FU, not counted.

 

I m actually surfing in this food court, totally free, not crowded, strong signals!!

 

Some of you might used it before. Orchard Rd.

 

Some private clubs have it too, and they allow non members to use it if you somehow know the password which is reset weekly or even only monthly..

CNA just released an article about hacking.

 

Hackers can create a free wireless network via their mobile phone as hotspot. You happily sign in and the hacker can assess to your hp or tablet totally.....

 

Beware, nothing is free.

The importance of cyber security is an issue discussed on the programme Challenge Tomorrow on Sunday (March 19).

Just how crippling a cyber-attack can be, was seen on a country-wide scale in 2007 when Estonia – the birthplace of Skype, and one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world where people can vote and register births online – fell victim.

Mr Jaak Aviksoo, who had just taken office as Estonia’s minister of defence, recalls that day. He’d tried to access a government ministry website and there was nothing. He then checked other websites – but they all displayed the same error message.  

“The electronic banking was not working, two major banks had black screens, and news agencies were down… It became clear that was not an occasional occurrence,” he said.

Indeed it wasn’t. Estonia had just experienced the world’s first nation-wide cyber-attack. While there was no physical damage, psychologically, people felt under attack, noted Anto Veldre, an analyst at the Estonian Information System Authority.

“When the Internet is out for five days, you cannot do anything because all your money is in the bank and you have no cash,” he said.

The attack highlighted the vulnerability of a digitally-connected nation and triggered a scramble among countries to reconsider cyber security.

And to wage this defensive cyber-war, organisations and governments are turning to white hats.

Mr Tim Medin, an instructor with SANS Institute - a US-based information security organisation that trains government and civilian employees – said: “At the surface level, they (the white hats) are bad guys because they’re breaking all the software. But they’re breaking absolutely everything to get their message out there that ‘Hey, there’s a problem, let’s fix it’.”

Mr Robert M Lee, another SANS Institute instructor, said organisations tend to focus on the hardware aspects when it comes to cyber security, which misses the point. “We’re talking about human threats targeting these pieces of infrastructure. So you have to put in human defenders,” he said.

SUTD’s Mr Toh said Singapore lacks talent in the cyber security industry, which is why SUTD is hosting workshops and competitions to promote the field.

“Kids are very closely connected to technology,” he said. “So we want to show them the importance of cyber security in their everyday life, and hopefully through these outreach programmes and workshops, we are able to get them interested and think of it as a viable career.”

This episode of Challenge Tomorrow airs Sunday, March 19, at 8pm (SG/HK).

Speaking of wireless@SG, my stupid LG v20 automatically connects to it if wifi is turned on. I've deleted the hotspot but it keeps coming back.

 

Does anyone have this problem and know how to resolve it? 

 

Auto connecting wouldn't normally be a problem but wireless@sg connection really sucks so whenever it connects, I wouldn't be able to access the net (ironic yes?).

go to wifi config and select the network and choose 'forget network', wireless@sg depends on location, some place could be their router problem.

Singaporeans most 'Wi-Fi obsessed' travellers in Asia: Survey

 

Singaporeans can't live without Wi-Fi it seems, according to the results of a survey on flight and hotel etiquette habits released by travel site Expedia today (May 3).

The study found that four in five Singaporeans (80 per cent) chose Wi-Fi as a "very important" hotel amenity, crowning Singaporeans as the most Wi-Fi obsessed travellers in Asia, and the third most Wi-Fi obsessed globally behind Brazilians and the Americans.

 

The survey of more than 18,000 adults around the world also found that Singaporean travellers take an average of 4.6 flights during the past year, ranking as the sixth most frequent fliers in Asia.

 

While Singaporean travellers take fewer flights as compared to Thai (10.1 average flights per year) and Japanese (9.1 average flights per year) travellers, they tend to take more hotel stays, staying an average of 13.8 nights in hotels over the past year.

 

The survey also found other defining habits of Singapore travellers, pertaining to their flight and hotel preferences.
