Possible Potential Threats
- Man-in-the-middle attacks:In this type of attack, an attacker intercepts communication between two devices and can potentially intercept sensitive information, such as login credentials or personal data.
- Unsecured network:If a Wi-Fi network is not secured with a password or other authentication methods, anyone within range of the network can potentially access it and intercept data being transmitted over the network.
- Rogue access points:Attackers can set up fake Wi-Fi access points, also known as "evil twins," to trick users into connecting to them and potentially stealing their information.
- Malware:Malware can be transmitted over a Wi-Fi network, potentially infecting devices and compromising their security.
- Unsecured devices:If a device connected to a Wi-Fi network is not properly secured, it can potentially be compromised and used as a point of entry into the network for an attacker.
