My broadband supplier is Virgin Media in the UK. One of the services they provide is public wifi in which an 802.1x network is used. This is authenticated using your ISP email username/password and a certificate is provided for iOS devices. For Mac and Windows there is no certificate as this comes together with an app.
If I use the network without validation am I at risk of having my email username and password exposed?
My understanding is the certificate stops the authentication process if it can't verify it as genuine. Should I avoid doing this?
