Hotel Wi-Fi Networks Targeted by Russian Hackers

Microsoft has issued a warning to travelers about potential online security risks when using hotel Wi-Fi networks. The company stated that hackers from Russia are exploiting these networks to target unsuspecting visitors through fake web pages.

The fake pages appear to be legitimate Microsoft 365 login screens, but can actually steal users' credentials or send malware to their devices.

According to the warning, these fake pages may display a 'working on updates' page, making them seem like real and necessary steps in accessing online services. To avoid falling victim to this scam, Microsoft recommends using a phone hotspot as a safer alternative for staying connected while traveling.
