If users do not know the rules on proper handling of WLANs well enough, they will not be able to adhere to them. They may then connect clients to unfamiliar wireless networks without realising that information transmitted through them without encryption can be intercepted. In addition, information about users (such as the websites they visit) can be collected by the operators of such wireless networks.
