An insecure wireless connection may expose users to which of the following?

An insecure wireless connection, such as one that lacks encryption, can allow unauthorized individuals within range to intercept the data being transmitted. This interception is known as eavesdropping. It is a common security risk associated with wireless networks where attackers can capture sensitive information without being detected.

References: The ISACA resources highlight the importance of securing wireless connections to prevent unauthorized access and data interception. Specifically, ISACA’s materials on cybersecurity audit emphasize the need to address threats to information processed, stored, and transported by internetworked information systems, which includes protecting against eavesdropping12. Additionally, the risks associated withinsecure wireless connections, such as eavesdropping, are discussed in the context of mobile computing device threats and vulnerabilities3.
