Will the WiFi we connect really reveal our privacy?

"WiFi Master Key" is a software that automatically obtains free WiFi hotspots around and establishes connections, and connects through the WiFi hotspot data shared by millions of users built in the cloud. When the reporter downloads the software, it will be automatically backed up by default when entering for the first time. If you choose to agree, you will share the used WiFi password to the cloud. Try to search for nearby WiFi, and four or five hotspots appear in the list, indicating that it is encrypted and cannot be connected. The reporter clicks on the encryption hotspot and selects the master key to automatically connect. Without knowing the password, the software successfully connected two encrypted hotspots starting with "TP-LINK" within one or two minutes.

WiFi master key developer issued a statement saying that all passwords are shared with the consent of users, and users can turn off sharing at any time or choose not to share. WiFi passwords are encrypted with 128 bits when they are transmitted and stored in the server. When users log in to hotspots, hackers can't get in and out of their phones without hindrance. When other users use the software, the cloud password is saved locally on the mobile phone, and will be deleted after the connection is successful.

If you happen to connect to a friend's house with a mobile phone with a password sharing software similar to WiFi, and the friend's house happens to have WiFi turned on, you will inadvertently share the friend's WiFi password to the cloud. When you use this software to connect to WiFi where your neighbor's password is leaked, your mobile phone will also encounter security risks, which will not only reveal your friend's privacy, but also bring risks to other users who connect to WiFi. If a hacker directs the address of a regular website to a phishing website by modifying the DNS address of the router, the risk is very great, and the user's online banking and Alipay may be stolen.

Sharing WiFi passwords does have security risks. If you are worried about the leakage of similar software such as WiFi universal assistant installed on other people's mobile phones, changing the password in time can effectively avoid it.
