What is an "Evil Twin"?
An Evil Twin, sometimes referred to as Wiphishing, is a potential security threat to users of Wi-Fi, predominantly in public hotspots. A hacker sets up what is called a "rogue access point" which mimics the characteristics of the network to which users expect to connect. Users unknowingly connect to the rogue access point and the hacker's network instead of the intended network.
The Evil Twin hijacks data, such as passwords, account information, credit card information, etc., and then connects the user to the Internet as intended. A sophisticated evil twin can even control what Web site appears when the Internet is accessed, often mimicking the intended starting Web site, for the purposes of capturing the user's private information.
To date, there have been no reported large-scale incidences of Evil Twin attacks, but most network administrators have been aware of this theoretical threat for some years. Recent media coverage of Evil Twin threats has directed consumer attention to the matter, making users concerned about the problem and how they can protect themselves.
The Wi-Fi Alliance® recommends that users of wireless networks exercise the same level of caution they've learned to use to avoid scams in the wired world. End users should change their passwords regularly, not respond to questionable e-mails, and look for secure connections. As Wi-Fi continues to grow in reach and popularity, consumers need to make some new simple security precautions a habit, like connecting through a provider that uses encryption with a list of trusted hotspots, using a VPN, and always enabling security within a home network. Also, users should make it a point to look for products that are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ for WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security.
