Yes it’s real and have times and threat models ever changed
I’ll spell it out for you guys - CBP provides open free WiFi in the immigration line at the airport where the typical person with no mobile service is on a visa.
This is a very different consideration now in the era of wiping phones than three years ago.
LumiWorxI'll assume US Customs and Border Control... and where they could slurp up anything datawise they want - even phone calls themselves, for those using phones/providers capable of WiFi calling. That might only be tip of the iceberg.
Social engineering at its worst.
ulveon.net@lumiworx @hacks4pancakes Encryption is ubiquitous nowadays certificate pinning and elliptic curves make MITM attacks not only unlikely but almost entirely impossible. Add E2EE to the mix and, yeah, CBP isn't eavesdropping on your calls anytime soon.
Let's stop spreading FUD: The Internet has never been safer before for consumers. Anyone trying to do weird MITM in the WiFi you're connected to will have your phone show endless scary red warnings.

I'm too old and too damn grumpy to give a shit anymore, so if I knew magic, I'd be holding classes 3 days a week. 😃
@lumiworx @ulveon @hacks4pancakes you are wise enough at least to err on the side of caution. I was addressing the authoritative sounding and extremely misleading handwave I directly replied to. A protip is that you cannot and should not ever connect to a random stranger's plug or wifi hotspot. exfiltration is trivial in a shocking number of cases you might take for granted. arguing that layer seven sniffing and man in the middle stuff isn't going on at hotspots provided courtesy of the gestapo, let alone the feds, is best case a childish effort to flex something you heard in the little leagues, worst case active and deliberate disinformation. there's a reason the big dogs only trust air gap (and even then I could show you some side channel stuff that'd make you shit)
