- Norton by Symantec has announced a new service designed to protect consumers when they connect to the Web using a public Wi-Fi network.
- The new Norton Hotspot Privacy essentially creates a virtual private network for the user while on a Wi-Fi network, providing more control over what is shared online.
- “The service provides a secure and private connection that shouldn’t be able to be seen by ‘eavesdropping software.’ The user’s Wi-Fi session should therefore be invisible, encrypting the user’s connection and everything related (i.e. usernames, passwords, etc.),” reports ZDNet.
- “The inspiration behind Hotspot Privacy comes from the sheer amount of unprotected Wi-Fi hotspots available and just how vulnerable those networks are to cyber threats,” notes the post.
- Available for Mac and PCs, Norton Hotspot Privacy supports unlimited bandwidth on up to five devices for $49.99/year, $19.99/month and $2.99/day.
