FBI Investigating a Fake-Hotspot Attack on a Delta Flight Carrying DEF CON Attendees
Ars Technica·low signal
FBI Atlanta confirmed it is looking into an evil-twin wireless access point deployed on a Delta flight, with DEF CON attendees suspected. No arrests have been made. Relevant less for the prank than for the reminder that in-flight and captive-portal networks remain trivially spoofable, which matters for anyone whose agents or CLI tools auto-reconnect and re-auth on untrusted networks.
