What is faking of hotspots?
What is a Fake Wi-Fi HotSpot? Fake Wi-Fi hotspots are often called honeypots because they lure their targets in with something irresistible: free Wi-Fi. Hackers deploy honeypots in areas rich with high value targets where they don't have access to their normal, secure networks.
Can hackers create fake hotspots VPN?
I already mentioned fake WAP, but hackers often set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots without passwords (like “Free Starbucks Wi-Fi”) to lure people into their network. Such a hotspot puts your data at risk because it gives hackers access to everything you're doing, unless you're using a VPN! Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
What is a malicious hotspot?
Malicious hotspots, also known as rogue access points, trick victims into connecting to what they think is a legitimate network because the name sounds reputable.
