Indeed yes, looking at WiFi from the interactive side, yes it does allow
you to become part of a two way exchange and pulled into being used for

With regard to crypto and the breaking of such, I think that it has sort
of become the replacement for crossword puzzles.
In the end you have to measure what is at stake and take the proper steps
to protect your self. We go through this at work all the time with our
customers. Some are totally oblivious, and others are so stark as to be
totally paranoid and not take advantage of these technologies (with proper
protection) is to their detriment.
One must strike a proper line between too loose and too tight.
