However, only 20% of them use a VPN (virtual private network) to protect themselves while being connected to a public network. “Travelers connect to public Wi-Fi in airports, cafes, parks, and trains.

Nobody wants to lose access to their device or their bank account during a trip to a foreign country,” says Daniel Markuson, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN.

Customers tend to overpay when prices are presented this way, according to a study conducted by Morwitz and her colleagues. “Customers are more likely to select an option that looks cheaper upfront. Even when they later realize it’s more expensive than they anticipated, th...
