Networks
Network name (SSID)
In Turkish: Ağ adı (SSID)
The name your Wi-Fi shows in the list of networks. Anyone can make a network with the same name, so a familiar name proves nothing.
A name like "Cafe_Guest" tells you nothing about who runs the network. Attackers copy popular names to trick phones and people into joining. Your phone may even join a saved name automatically.
At home, avoid putting your name or flat number in the SSID, since it tells strangers who lives there.
What to do
- Ask staff which network is the real one.
- Rename your home network to something neutral.
- Turn off auto-join for networks you rarely use.
