Cybercriminals are targeting public Wi-Fi networks at hotels, airports and other shared locations by replacing legitimate Wi-Fi login pages with fake sign-in screens designed to steal credentials or install malware. Because these pages can appear immediately after connecting to a network, they may seem legitimate and catch travelers off guard. Co-workers should be cautious of any public Wi-Fi login page that asks them to install software, enter unexpected sign-in codes or follow unusual instructions. To stay safe, use trusted connections whenever possible, connect to a VPN before accessing work resources, keep devices updated and avoid downloading anything from a Wi-Fi login page.
