00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:06,780
In this election we're going to discuss a feature in Microsoft Tankel Wi-Fi sends in a post to Microsoft's

2
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:09,290
TechNet Web site announcing a preview.

3
00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:14,940
Build one for free for to the anniversary edition of Windows 10.

4
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:20,120
Microsoft said the cost of updating the Wi-Fi sends code which is what it's like.

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:26,730
It was about Wi-Fi sense to keep the feature working coupled with its low usage and low demand no longer

6
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:29,510
justifies the existence of wife.

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,890
I sense a wife I sense is dead ish.

8
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:40,940
They also wrote Why five cents if enabled will continue to get you connected to open wife or hot spots.

9
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:43,220
It knows about through crowdsourcing.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:50,710
And if this is enabled it will automatically connect you to detected crowdsourced Wi-Fi networks acquiring

11
00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:55,860
network information and provide additional information to networks that require it.

12
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:59,470
Well the additional information is isn't really clear at this stage.

13
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:05,090
Additionally and this is the controversial part is it can be used to automatically share your wife find

14
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:12,140
password with your contacts on Facebook Skype and outlook and a Microsoft account is used to do this

15
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:12,850
sinking.

16
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,120
This is how Microsoft describes it.

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,560
When you share Wi-Fi network access with Facebook friends outlook dot com contacts or Skype contacts

18
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,230
they'll be connected to the password protected Wi-Fi network that you choose to share and get internet

19
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:29,070
access.

20
00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:36,000
When they're in range of the networks if they use wife I sense like wise you'll be connected to Wi-Fi

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,430
networks that they share for internet access to remember.

22
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:47,280
You don't get to see what Find out what passwords and you both get internet access only they won't have

23
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:54,030
access to other computers devices or files stored on your home network and you won't have access to

24
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:56,360
those things on that network.

25
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:58,380
Well that's in theory.

26
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:05,980
So what I sense is switched off by default but you can check to see what the settings are.

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,710
And you probably are best because I have different versions sometimes have this enabled or disabled

28
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,340
and it depends on whether you do a custom install or whether you've done an express install.

29
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:21,930
So if you go to your start menu settings

30
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:32,400
network and Internet and then you can see manage wharfies settings and what you need to do under why

31
00:02:32,510 --> 00:02:34,890
cents you need to disable everything.

32
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:40,330
And make sure the Wi-Fi sense is not working.

33
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:46,050
If you have enabled why five cents it will request permission to connect to Outlook.

34
00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:54,870
Skype Facebook as you can see here are the users on your friends list who also enable Wi-Fi sense will

35
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,730
have their contact information shared with you as well.

36
00:02:57,730 --> 00:03:04,960
This is obviously a privacy and security concern but the security side of it isn't black and white because

37
00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:11,680
most people who share their Wi-Fi passwords manually anyway by writing them down or saying them verbally

38
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,370
and that's giving away your password any way to your guests so this isn't secure.

39
00:03:17,540 --> 00:03:25,700
It sends the password isn't revealed to your guest but actually the best way to have guess if you want

40
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,680
to get on your network is to isolate and create a guest network on a separate villans.

41
00:03:31,690 --> 00:03:37,630
Your guest never gets access to your network more than that whether you use and they don't know your

42
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:38,650
password.

43
00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:40,660
And we'll discuss more on that later.

44
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:46,510
Another scary prospect is Microsoft and in fact any other company that will start to do this sort of

45
00:03:46,510 --> 00:03:47,570
thing where they collect.

46
00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:48,970
Why my passwords.

47
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:55,560
They really amass a huge database of Wi-Fi passwords of all the fine networks.

48
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,660
That becomes a huge target for attack and compromise.

49
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,110
And you also have to trust that these companies will secure those passwords and won't do anything untoward

50
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,230
with them and that they have your best interests at all times.

51
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:16,050
So I recommend keeping this turned off and using a guest network instead which we'll discuss later on.
