Mobile hotspots can either be personal hotspots are portable hotspots. Personal hotspots are created and hosted by individuals themselves, whereas, portable hotspots encompass carrier devices. A personal hotspot, created by user on his smart device, is traceable if security of the device hosting the network already compromised.Hotspot security of the host device can also be breached by hackers if it offers open access. Enabling password protection on a personal hotspot is an excellent way around to avoid this debacle and ensure hotspot security.Portable hotspots on the other hand are carrier devices that allow you to access personal hotspots on-the-go. Hotspot security of these devices is steady as compared to mobile hotspots, because, portable hotspot devices are administered by telecom giants.Traceability of such devices is almost impossible unless someone has physically created a backdoor on the device itself or infiltrated its hotspot security via Wi-Fi pineapple.
