Delta investigating after someone set up fake Wi-Fi network mid-flight
A fake Wi-Fi network was set up on a Delta flight, prompting the crew to disable the aircraft's legitimate Wi-Fi for approximately 30 minutes to address the incident. Delta is investigating the incident, which represents a potential security breach aboard the aircraft.
Why it matters: Passengers and crew on the affected flight were exposed to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and credential theft; airlines and IT practitioners need to implement stronger wireless security controls on aircraft to prevent unauthorized network spoofing.
