Fake Wi-Fi hotspots
1. In low-risk scenarios, the hidden programs in public Wi-Fi can tamper with web pages, flooding the website with spam, or insert hidden links into connected devices to achieve malicious promotion and click farms.
2. In medium-risk scenarios, the hidden programs in public Wi-Fi can conduct DNS hijacking or ARP attacks to intercept network traffic. DNS attackers can control the users' internet access, disrupting normal network access or redirecting users to malicious sites. ARP attacks are carried out differently, but with similar results - network disruption.
3. In high-risk scenarios, the hidden programs in public Wi-Fi may lead to the disclosure of account credentials. In addition, in public Wi-Fi networks, hackers can also obtain sensitive information through phishing, such as name, gender, workplace, bank account, etc. to develop personalized scams.
