Can my iPhone data be compromised through fake Wi-Fi networks?

While simply connecting to an unknown Wi-Fi without logging in might seem harmless, it's still not recommended.

It's unlikely that your data has been compromised in this instance, but it's good you were cautious and disconnected from the fake Wi-Fi network. Here's why:

1. Short connection: You were only connected for a short time (2 minutes) which limits the opportunity to steal data.
2. No login: You didn't log in to any websites or services while connected, so there wouldn't be any credentials to steal.

However, it's always a good practice to be careful with public Wi-Fi networks. Here are some tips for staying safe:

• Avoid unencrypted networks: Don't connect to networks that don't require a password. These are more likely to be fake or insecure.
• Use a VPN: Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) that encrypts your data traffic.
• Be mindful of what you access: Avoid accessing sensitive websites like banking or email on public Wi-Fi.

If you're concerned about your iPhone's security, you can also:

• Change your Wi-Fi password: This will prevent any unauthorized devices from connecting to your home Wi-Fi network in the future.
• Run a security scan: You can use your iPhone's built-in security scanner or a third-party app to check for malware or other security threats.
