Question

Answer each of the following questions.

Which of the following describes a hot spot? Check all of the boxes that apply.

an unsecured wireless network

inherently vulnerable to hackers

private Wi-Fi networks available at airports, hotels, and restaurants

susceptible to third-party viewin

Answer 1

Select these (with notes):

- an unsecured wireless network — yes (many hotspots are open/unsecured)
- susceptible to third‑party viewing — yes (public/unsecured Wi‑Fi is easy to eavesdrop)

Also select this only if the intent was “public Wi‑Fi networks”:
- private Wi‑Fi networks available at airports, hotels, and restaurants — text is misleading: hotspots are typically public Wi‑Fi provided at airports, hotels, restaurants (so the location description is correct, but they are not usually “private”).

Do not select:
- inherently vulnerable to hackers — misleading. Hotspots can be vulnerable (especially if unsecured), but they are not inherently hacked; the correct phrasing is “can be vulnerable.”
