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.
There is a high chance that your wallet being hacked if you log in into a public unsecured wifi. Hackers can easily inject some virus or malware to your pc or laptop to steal some of your info. Bring your own source of wifi like pocket wifi or tether hotspot into your phone. Be careful as always even if it is only a small amount of btc
