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.
Well, honestly, i really do not think that getting into public wifi hotspots can really get your desktop wallets hacked. Well, that is, if you open them when you are connected to a public wifi hotspot. But even so, i suggest, that you just put your funds on a different device. A device that you don't use that often to connect to the internet. That way, you can breath a little lighter. But you can also buy cheap pocket wifis that only you can use. That would be much easier.
