An Australian national has been sentenced for operating “Evil Twin” WiFi networks targeting travelers in airports and on domestic flights.

Using a WiFi Pineapple, he cloned legitimate SSIDs and redirected users to phishing pages that harvested credentials and personal content.

AFP is urging the public to stay cautious with free WiFi - disable auto-connect, use a VPN, and avoid entering personal details on captive portals.

What security controls do you think would meaningfully reduce these risks?
