Hackers have altered hotel Wi‑Fi equipment so that when guests connect, they are sent to fake Microsoft 365 login pages. The fake pages look real and can steal usernames and passwords. Business travelers are especially at risk because they often log in before meetings. Security firm ReliaQuest says the attack has been active since at least June.
Why it matters
