What Is Evil Twin Attack

f:id:infosec:20190709190443j:plain

Evil Twin attacks are almost two decades old now but still pose significant security threats. Evil Twin attacks work in a similar way to a standard phishing scam but are based on Wi-Fi networks.

An attacker will setup a fake Wi-Fi access point, and users will connect to this rather than a legitimate one. When users connect to this access point, all of the data they share with the network will pass through a server controlled by the attacker. Learn more about Evil Twin Attack.
