Microsoft Warns Windows Users of Russian Hackers Targeting Hotel WiFi

Microsoft has issued a warning to Windows PC users about Russian hackers infiltrating their devices on hotel WiFi networks.

The tech company attributed the hacking campaign, called CaptiveCrunch, to Storm-2945, a sub-cluster of Russia's Midnight Blizzard. The campaign targets corporate travelers with credential theft and malware delivered through compromised guest networks.

Microsoft has been aware of the campaign since May and has impacted hospitality networks and other guest networks served by captive portals worldwide.
