There are rumblings about Russia SVR is compromising hotel Wi-FI, and there are people re-upping how using public Wi-FI is so dangerous.

There's no fancy attack going on there. Hotel (or other) Wi-Fi is fine. It's **ClickFix**. You're at just as much risk Googling for something and clicking on the results.

If you use best practices like not manually typing your password from memory into a website, and not pasting mystery clipboard contents into a terminal, you'll be alright. If you do like doing such things, might I recommend a hobby that does **not** involve the internet?
