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 possibility that could happen because, as far as I know there is a hacking method by making wifi clone so that people who enter the cloned network can read the flow of data by the network maker. and that's where your important data can be stolen including your password
