CaptiveCrunch - The Evolution of Public WiFi Attacks - #213

Hotel Wi-Fi has long been considered a cybersecurity risk—but what if you're connected to the correct network? In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt examines CaptiveCrunch, a sophisticated campaign that compromises legitimate hotel and conference Wi-Fi infrastructure to intercept users before they ever reach the internet.

Discover how attackers manipulate DNS traffic, abuse device code authentication, bypass traditional phishing defenses, and deploy malware such as Cornflake and CocoShell to steal credentials, OAuth tokens, and corporate access. Tyler explains why familiar security signals—including genuine Wi-Fi networks, legitimate Microsoft login pages, and even multi-factor authentication—may no longer be enough to protect travellers.

Whether you're a business traveller, security leader, or IT professional, this episode offers practical guidance on reducing risk, securing remote connections, and adapting to a new generation of identity-based attacks.
