EDUCAUSE is one of the sponsors of the campaign, as many higher education institutions hold security awareness events in October.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">With more people using Wi-Fi on the MIT campus, it's riskier to be on open networks. Open (unencrypted) wireless networks could allow others in the vicinity to see which web sites you visit or the search terms you type into browsers. Others could even gain access to your online accounts while you browse. </p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">To mitigate these risks and for a smooth transition in January, IS&T recommends users start connecting via the secure wireless networks right away; they are encrypted and require an MIT username and password to access. </p>
