Please, beware of new open "Free" WiFi in Sosua with SSID "Public Internet". The signal is quite strong to receive practically anywhere in Sosua El Batey area outdoor. The WiFi protection was removed for a certain purpose. This is not a paranoia, btw.

Basic precautions should be observed - do not send sensitive information over any free WiFi.

Beware. They have re-named its SSID to Alex-Garage. It is still open for everyone. Warn your friends.

It is Russian people operating from under cover of a well known Russian residential development and wanted by FBI for stealing money from various bank and credit card accounts. Moved to Sosua from Santo Domingo a year ago.

Any Russian-Dominican public forum has plenty of information about these people.

One "free" wi-fi transmitter is installed in the above mentioned Russsian luxury development, another one - in the Russian auto repair shop next to Alejo Martines.
