Australian Man Gets Seven Years for Running “Evil Twin” Wi-Fi

A man was sentenced to seven years after using malicious "evil twin" Wi‑Fi hotspots (a Wi‑Fi Pineapple) on domestic flights and at airports to redirect victims to phishing pages, harvest credentials, and steal thousands of intimate images and videos; investigators found devices and evidence across Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide, and the suspect attempted to delete and remotely wipe data following his arrest, prompting AFP warnings about the risks of public Wi‑Fi.
