This three minute thirty-four second video features Rianette Leibowitz offering a clear, practical explanation of how hackers target and exploit open Wi-Fi networks. She begins by outlining why public and unsecured networks create ideal conditions for cybercriminals, noting that user data can easily be intercepted when devices connect without proper encryption. Rianette explains the common tactics used by attackers, including man-in-the-middle attacks, packet sniffing, and spoofed access points designed to trick users into connecting.
She emphasizes that most victims are unaware of the risks, assuming that public networks are safe simply because they are convenient. Rianette highlights the types of sensitive information typically compromised—passwords, email logins, banking details, personal communications—and how this data can be used for identity theft, account takeovers, and broader cybercrime activity.
The segment also underscores behavioural risk. Rianette explains that individuals often expose themselves unintentionally by performing high-risk activities on public networks, such as online shopping, logging into financial portals, or accessing business email without protection.
00:40–01:25 Common attack methods such as spoofed hotspots and man-in-the-middle interception.
01:25–02:20 Types of sensitive information hackers target on public networks.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
