Evil twin (fake hotspot)
In Turkish: Sahte Wi-Fi ağı (evil twin)
A Wi-Fi network set up by an attacker with the same or a similar name as a real one, to catch people who join it.
In places like airports or hotels there may be "Free_WiFi" and "Free WiFi" side by side. Joining the wrong one puts the attacker's equipment between you and the internet. The page you get after joining may even ask for an email or card to "verify" you.
What to do
- Ask staff for the exact network name and password.
- Never enter card details on a Wi-Fi sign-in page.
- Use mobile data when you are not sure.
