Russian Wi-Fi Hackers – Daily Security Byte

October 10, 2018 By Corey Nachreiner

Last week, Dutch authorities found Russian spies allegedly trying to man-in-the-middle (MitM) the Wi-Fi network of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague. Authorities claim the GRU was also found doing similar attacks against anti-doping agencies around the world. Turns out, these nation-state attackers still use off-the-shelf hacking tools like the Wi-Fi Pineapple, and use classic wireless attack techniques like the Evil Twin attack. Watch today’s video to learn more about these allegations, the Evil Twin attack, and what you can do to protect yourself from this type of wireless assault.
