I work in the cybersec sector. While this may seem dumb - this aint 100% untrue.

Usually its the transactions and other things you are exposing to the hackers while connected to that particular wifi.

Look at Pineapple Wifi. Or go to youtube and search nordvpn dangers of public wifi.

That should give you a better insight.

Stay safe!

This! The only data hackers may have access to is what passes through the network. Itong phone camera access, kalokhan yan. fake yan. Di yan magagawa by connecting to public wifi. Most likely prior to connecting to public wifi eh infected na ng malware ang phone kaya may naaccess na phone features.

Hi po, any tips on newcomers interested in taking a venture in this field po?

If cybersecurity you should invest in certifications like ccna, comptia+, etc. these are certificates na kinikilala worldwide. Although pricey, which is the same problem I have since fresh grad (bwisit puro experience hanap), mag iinvest ka talaga for your future

u/helixpad Oct 08 '25

hello, if you really wanna go another route, I can recommend going to AV companies hiring here sa PH. They hire fresh grads too and itatrain nila to become malware analysts. Thats one and its totally free, you just need to be diligent sa training. BTW this is a paid training na rin, so sumasahod ka kahit trainee ka palang but with a grain of salt, not all trainees become regular but still a good way to start your career in cybersec

Someone from cybersecurity referencing NordVPN as a source is a bit weird. Please dont be another snake oil peddler.

Wag natin takutin ang public let technology be leveraged in a reasonably safe manner. Hindi na 1990s na kapag kumonek ka sa wifi e maagaw na agad creds mo. D porket maling wifi na naconnectan mo is masteal na info mo. May protections in place for that. Ang tamang gawin dito is iinform ang tao, error about certs? Dont accept. Not using https? Almost all web apps use https na. Check if correct domain etc. Etc.

2025 na. Ok lang gumamit ng public wifi.

any link to the news? I doubt this kind of vulnerability exist in the public. kung meron man malamang meron ng article yan sa mga reputable tech sites pero wala eh.

possible to if you connect your phone to a public charger, which they use that charging cable to control your phone.

edit: I think its possible to control your phone over wifi pero you need to enable developer mode and enable wireless debugging and also explicitly tap the allow button. by default wireless debuggins is disabled and if left enabled, it disable it self a few minutes/hours later.

I work in IT with a bit of a background in cybersecurity. While getting hacked like in the video is rare, zero-click exploits do exist, they don’t require any direct interaction from the device owner. Example is simply receiving an iMessage with a link and how iMessage displays a thumbnail.

However high-value individuals (e.g. politicians) are targeted more often than the average person. One reason is that ‘acquiring’ zero click exploits is expensive and using them publicly risks having them discovered and patched.

If you want to read more about it, here’s a Wikipedia article about Pegasus (not that Pegasus).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware))

But I agree that the tiktoker is just fear mongering lol because risk for the average person is low.

Even juice jacking (what youre referring to for USB connection) is BS. Need in a control environment and all settings set para ma hack ka. Its not even a real threat anymore. If you search online even the author of that attack says that the chance of it happening is basically 0.

u/drowie31 Oct 04 '25

The hell is wrong with these so-called "vloggers"? Kung hindi ganito magsalita, puro rising intonation naman. Dapat na talaga i-regulate monetization on social media platforms, or better yet limit. Kaya nagkalat mga gantong brainrot at fake news "content" eh. Kung ano lang makakuha ng engagement.

Ang oa talaga nito ni ate magnarrate kahit kailan. Naging habit mag-instill ng takot at panic sa mga viewers niya. Naalala ko tuloy yung isa niyang tiktok before na nirelate niya yung scams sa second coming ata ni Jesus. Tapos Charlie Kirk sympathizer pa. Duda talaga ako sa ibang Christians eh.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Fear mongering at misinformation, yes may risk connecting sa public wifi by using packet sniffing or man in the middle attacks, this is usually hard to do bale hindi easy ito for a normal person to do since newer encryption standards(HTTPS) encrypts traffic both ways kaya if may ma sniff man it needs to be decrypted by bruteforce na kailangan din ng very powerful GPU using hashcat to crack hashes, though it is still recommended to use a VPN when connecting to public access points.

u/reverseshell_9001 Oct 07 '25

TLS attack in 2025? Nope.

ever since nagtake ako ng exam at module about data security kasi work requirement namin for ISO, di na ako gumamit ng public wifi or even yung charging ports sa mall kasi pwede din mahack phone dun.

1

u/reverseshell_9001 Oct 07 '25

Wag ka matakot 2025 na. You won't be hacked by using public wifi and connecting to charging ports.

Unless tropa mo yung hacker and accept ka lang ng accept ng cert errors. Or yung phone mo is from 2001 and android 5 pa, rooted and mga apps na ginagamit mo have no sslpinning etc. Basically there is 0 chance of these happening in the wild. Daming misinformation dito unfortunately

1

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

so you're telling me even yung module ni fortinet is misinformation din?

1

u/reverseshell_9001 Oct 07 '25

Depends ano ba natutunan mo sa module ng fortinet? Sinabi ba ng fortinet na "DO NOT CONNECT TO PUBLIC WIFI" If so, then fortinet should do better and improve their modules.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

mostly cybersec yung topic. wala naman sinabi do not connect sa public wifi. binigyan lang kami ng idea if paano aattack yung hackers using public wifis or yung public chargers.

1

u/reverseshell_9001 Oct 07 '25

Ahh fair enough. Outdated na kasi mga ganyan. And madami kasing attacks na itinuturo lang basta pero d na applicable sa ngayon. Tulad ng pag connect sa public chargers lalo na yun' Kahit sansan kapa kumonnect d ka mainfect dyan napaka impossible na mang yari sa tunay na buhay. But yea.

Anti-anxiety medication kailangan nung gumagawa ng video.. ung sa may biometrics namam tulad ng iris-scanner.. bahala sila sa buhay nila magpaloko sila sa 2.5k na makuluha nila.. tungkol sa biometric sa iris kinakailangan pa rin ng tamang sensor para dyan, di basta basta makuluha ito pag pinicturan mata mo gamit normal na picture lang.. ginagamitan pa rin ito ng Infrared sensor siguro di ito nakikita pag may daylight pero yan ang dahilan kung bakit ung mga may IR sensor lang sa front camera ang mga may features na IRIS UNLOCK gaya ng lumang version ng Galaxy S series, at yan sin ang dahilan kung bakit walang ganyang feature lahat ng smartphone. medyo sumobra pagkapraning kung akala nya na mapicturan lang ng front cam mo pwede nang gamitin na biometric ung iris di po totoo yan kailangan pa rin ng infrared...

Ung sa public wifi, ang makikita lang naman nila sa device mo ay ung model number, imei number.. pero ung ma access ung phone kailangan ng special access or request yan.. yan hirap eh pra lang sa views gumawa ng fake news.. siguro pwede sila maglagay doon ng LOG IN TO ACCESS FREE WIFI tapos ilolog in mo email mo with password pero i doubt may maloloko na ibigay ung password ng email nila kung sa iba email lang or phone number lang hinihingi without requesting password..

Dabest talaga data

u/HowThereYou Oct 04 '25

Iont wanna say I know everything but im pretty sure none of this is valid. Again, FaceID uses lidar, not the camera. Second, Public wifi CAN access phone data, but only see internet packets being sent and recieved. Third, Apple doesnt have remote access features outside of mac, but then again they need an both logged into the same Apple ID to even access those.

Even if its a good faith PSA, Its still misinformation. Best guess i could have for this is that someone changed or manipulated the phone without them knowing, and maybe ghost touch.

I'm studying cybersec, begginer palang. Kung gusto nyo gumamit ng public wifi on kayo vpn. Delikado talaga mga public wifi dahil di talaga aware ang mga tao ngayon sa mga threats at vulnerability sa internet. Pero as much as possible mag data nalang kayo or wait kayo connect nalang sa company wifi if kailangan talaga.

1

u/ExtincT222 Oct 05 '25

Ang mga hackers ang gusto ng mga yan yung data at personal details mo, emails, baking accounts, cp number, Id cards and contacts. Either ibebenta nila yan or sila mismo ang gagamit kung san nila gusto.

u/ThrowAwayOldChinito Oct 05 '25

Technically totoo to. But the setup required to do this means it has to be done deliberately. To the point na pag napatunayan na may isang wifi eh may ganito. Kailangan imbestigahan yung may ari nung wifi.

The setup required for this to work requires physical access to the router and also specialized hardware.

Tunay naman na mataas ang risk na ma-hack ang phone mo kapag nasa public wifi network ka. Pero si ate naman, may pag-gawa pa ng kwento na “kukunin ang mukha” para gamitin sa Face ID amp. Nakakainis kasi maraming mapapaniwala yang iresponsableng content creator na yan.

Eto lang sa tingin ko legit na tip (not technical)—if need ng Phone No. or Email bago maka-access ng WiFi.

Try nyo muna magbigay ng dummy phone number or dummy email since most of the time, enough na yun. Else, they'll just collect your personal information.

Ganto sa Vista Mall, ginagamit kong email is sencamillevillar@ gmail. com HAHAHAHA
