I'm seeking commentary from credentialed cybersecurity and networking experts on the rise of "evil twin" Wi-Fi network scams, where cybercriminals will spoof a public Wi-Fi network in order to intercept traffic from unsuspecting users.
This article will explain what the "evil twin" Wi-Fi network scam is, how criminals use it to intercept traffic and user information, how to avoid evil twin networks (and verify that the public network you're connecting to is legit), what data can be stolen using this method, and where the risk of "evil twin" networks is the greatest. The article will also include some tips on "best practices" that average people can use to stay safe when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
Feel free to offer any other advice or insights you feel are relevant to the topic!
