Update: My work's public Wi-Fi in Chicago got spoofed at a conference

Honestly, I saw a fake network with the hotel's name and almost connected before my VPN flagged it. Has anyone else run into a rogue hotspot like that?

How did your VPN catch it? That's pretty wild. I always just assume public wifi is a bad idea, but a straight up copy of the hotel's network is next level. Makes you wonder how many people just click connect without a second thought. My buddy had his email get popped at an airport from something similar. Good on you for having that VPN turned on.

Yeah, @elliot_johnson, that airport story is scary.
