Data Security Abroad: Why Using eSIM is Safer than Public Wi-Fi

When traveling, the temptation to use free Wi-Fi at airports or stations is huge. In fact, public Wi-Fi is often a "hunting ground" for hackers to steal your credit card data or login identity through *Man-in-the-Middle* attacks. Using a personal mobile data connection via eSIM is much safer because data communication from your device to the operator's tower is strictly encrypted. You have your own "private lane" to the internet without having to share space with thousands of strangers on an unsecure Wi-Fi network. With eSIM prices now very affordable, the security risks you take when using free Wi-Fi no longer seem worth it.
