This is a hypothetical question. I am wondering, can my desktop wallet be hacked if I log into an unsecured WiFi hotspot even if I do not log into my bitcoin desktop wallet? I am wondering because I travel a lot, and when travelling I sometimes log into coffee shop WiFi hotspots. I don't keep a lot of funds on the desktop but I'm wondering about this.

Do not you know that you must not (!) use any unsafe Wi-Fi connection, especially when you deal with cryptocurrency? You can be easily hacked and the keys can be stolen without any effort of hackers! Check your computer with Antivirus program now - do it urgently.

And always use VPN!

Unsecured Wi-Fi is one of the biggest problems when it comes to the transaction of payment using the digital currencies. According to the national report of KSN there are 24.7 percent of the Wi.Fi connections that have on setup for the encryption at all.

This means that they could be easily accessed by the use of an antenna scale .so one should be careful about the network type and its security because the Btc payment method is more vulnerable to hackers.
