I use Wifi and over time have had imminent network WiFi problems and all that that has entailed. From time to time I have also noticed that my e-mail did not work correctly and behaved strangely in several different ways.

There are solutions to most problems and answers to errors. These solutions and answers I will share with you as a reader with the aim of helping you not to be exposed to the same problem that I have had to share.

I'll start by going straight to the point and want to say right now that if you don't use Wifi or e-mail then you have no use for what will appear in this article. However, if you use Wifi and e-mail then you must read what appears below.

Wifi is good but there are flaws in security.

These flaws open doors for hackers and criminals. Security flaws in Wifi networks allow hackers to gain full visibility into what you do on the internet and who wants that to happen? This is precisely why you should be extra careful with open Wi-Fi networks in public places, etc. If you use public Wifi networks, do not carry out banking, payments, etc.

There are different security classes in Wifi WPA, WPA2, WPA3, etc. with associated detailed settings that are made in the user's router. These detailed settings are very important, they are just as important as using the right security class WPA2, WPA3 on the Wifi network.

I'm not going to go into details about settings in the Wifi router, but I can mention that WPA2, WPA3 are what you should use from a security perspective. 

In my research, I have received one thing that is very clear, and that is that the password to the WiFi network, to the router, and the SSID is objective.

Hackers use complex tools to hack into WIfi networks and part of the hacking process is to crack passwords, usernames. Bad passwords and poor Wi-Fi security make it very easy for hackers to connect to your Wi-Fi network, it only takes about ten seconds for a hacker to get into a Wi-Fi network that has poor security. If you use Wifi, then you should care about this and make sure your Wifi is secure!

So how do hackers hack into Wifi networks?

There are several different methods that they use, somewhat depending on where the victim is. 

• Man in the middle Wifi hackning is a technology that can be used in restaurants, cafes, hotels, etc. 

• Another more complex and brutal hack is WiFi Pineapple Enterprise. 

• Hacking using “Flipper” hardware. Flipper is a small battery-powered device that hackers place near their victim. It can be, for example, in a basement under the victim's home, in a plastic bag well hidden in a garden bush outside the victim's home/office, etc.

• StingRayś   

These are just a few examples. I am far from a network expert or an IT security expert, but these are examples. If you want to learn more about these, I advise you to watch YouTube - there you can get full insight. 

So concretely, we can say that your Wifi passwords and router passwords are set against the hacker's software which is designed specifically to crack passwords and to hack Wifi networks, take control of Wifi networks.  

You probably already understand that a password of a few letters and numbers is far from enough to prevent the hacker's software from cracking your passwords. In general, we can say that the longer your password is and the more irregular characters and symbols that are included in the password, the more secure it is. I recommend you to use a password that contains 64 irregular characters consisting of letters, numbers, symbols. Do not use word combinations. And do not save your password on your devices!

Often it can be experienced as difficult and boring to have to familiarize yourself with Wifi security and having to change basic settings in the router/software. But hopefully this is something you do once and after that your Wifi is safe! You can relax and not have to feel any stress that your Wifi is insecure and monitored by hackers/criminals. What a feeling ;)? 

When you have set up your Wifi network by changing the basic SSID, changing the default password to your own which is 64 characters and setting other parameters in the Wifi router, the next step follows. 

This is also very important to understand and to implement. Hackers who use Wifi Pineapple Enterprise Technology can see everything that happens in the hacked Wifi network, but if you use a secure VPN connection then they cannot see what you are doing on your Wifi network. This is because the VPN IP address is an intermediate element between you and the hacker. So install VPN in your device if you don't already have it. Don't choose the first best VPN provider on the Google Chrome Store or on Google Play, choose one that has received good ratings and is not related to an inappropriate country. Proton VPN is a variant that many feel safe with.

What you should take into account in the secure calculations is that the VPN provider can see what you do on the internet. The same with your internet provider and with the Police. And this is usually not a problem as, for example, the Police can see which web pages you surf on if you are not a criminal.

If you use a Google account, follow their security information when registering an account. Google is at the forefront of user security.

Set your browser (Chrome) to enhanced security, set so that cookies are deleted when the website is closed. Set your mobile or computer's DNS to Google DNS or to Quad DNS (Google DNS is recommended). 

Use a good virus protection that is safe, Avast, AVG are examples of such and that are also free.

Check that your applications are up to date, check that your software in your computer is up to date. If you use Google Chrome, click on the settings tab and go to the Security tab. Check which apps are installed on your mobile phone, if there are any unknown ones that look suspicious choose to uninstall them! Restore your devices to their factory settings, this eliminates the risk of any malware having a long-term effect on you/ your device.  

If you're as geeky as I am when it comes to security, then you build your own Chrome Extensions to strengthen your browser's security. 

Nearby Sensors can be found in all Mobile Phones as well as in some other devices. Through my Chrome accessory, I can see which ones, should a new device show up in combination with my Wifi Network Monitor giving me an indication that the network's IP has changed, then this reinforces the credibility that active hacking is being carried out.

Wifi network monitor shows and alerts me if my *network IP changes.

If it changes then it is an indication that the network is being manipulated and in such a case I can see which IP is related to the manipulation of my WiFi network.

This was a little basic about Wifi security. I hope it can add something to you that will make you have a more secure Wifi network. And again, you should care about the security of your Wifi network.

How many Wifi networks are hacked?

Statistics show that 1 in 16 Wi-Fi networks are hacked due to bad passwords or bad security settings in the router or in the user device. According to measurements, 79% of home Wi-Fi owners have weak passwords, which exposes users to security risks. 

If your IP address changes, what do you do?

Firstly, it does not have to mean that your Wifi is hacked if your IP address changes. Internet providers sometimes change users' IP addresses, for example if a user turns off their devices and turns them on again, then the IP address can be changed. By using my Wifi Network Monitor Google Chrome Extension, you can see if the IP address changes. If it changes, copy the new IP address and do a search on it in Who is. Paste the new ip address in Who is and see if the new ip address is provided by the same internet provider or not. If it is the same, then you can be calm.

If it is not the same internet provider, change the password and SSID and check all security settings in your router and in your user devices / computer / mobile / tablet. And do not forget to update all your devices.

Further to e mail security.

In general, I only recommend Gmail as a secure email. 

I'm not going to go into more detail about why, but Gmail has some security parameters that some other email providers don't have.  

If you want to check the credibility of an email if you are a Gmail user, do the following: 

1. Open the current email - (don't click on any links) and make sure you have your VPN on / activated. In some emails there is a tracking code that has the task of logging the recipient's IP, with the VPN turned on the IP for the VPN is displayed and not your real IP. Hackers are interested in IP, so always mask your IP.

2. Click on the 3 small round dots in the email at the top right.

3. Select show original.

4.  Look at the parameters SPF, DKIM, DMARK so that they all have PASS.

5. Check that ARC matches with DKIM, i.e. that they have the same email domain. If they do not have the same email domain then you should be skeptical of the email, likewise if it is a subdomain.

Personally, I never take chances, with that said, either PASS is shown on all parameters and ARC matches with DKIM or it doesn't. If not then I discard the email and classify it as junk! Furthermore, for example, if the domain shows that the email is from company x.com, signed in the email signature by first and last name, and when checked, it turns out that first and last name work for company y.com, then this indicates that the email is classified as a scam. Again, look for common denominators in the email that either prove that everything is ok or that it is SCAM. As a starting point, you use the SPF, DKIM, DMARC and ARC parameters to perform a quick security check of your email. 

If you want to check a domain then you can do this via Who.is. There you can get dates, owners and more. 

This was a bit of basic security around Wifi and e-mail.

If hackers launch an overload attack (Dos attack) on your router after you have implemented proper security settings, the router will most likely shut down. But you can feel safe in the fact that in the event of such an attack, the hacker will not be able to access your Wi-Fi password and your router password. Consequences of an overload attack (Dos attack) against a Wifi router are often short-lived and can be solved by the user turning off the router for a few minutes and then turning it on again to connect to the internet. *Use Wifi channel 1,6 or 11.

That's all, hope the information added something that can lead to improvement when doing seo and digital marketing from Wifi network? Oh one more thing, turn off Wifi and Bluetooth when you don't use it. Wifi hacking is often done by someone nearby, be aware of who is nearby when your Wifi stops working. If the same person is around every time it happens then this could be the potential hacker. Hackers can also plant computers nearby and remotely connect to these to hack Wifi networks through software programs in the planted computer, e.g. Team Viewer 7, Anydesk etc.
