Security pros forget the basics...
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE attending London's Infosec conference logged into a rogue wireless hotspot that could have left them open to attack by hackers.
For a couple of hours on days one and two of the conference, insecurity firm Cryptocard created a wireless hotspot called 'Infosecfreewifi'. It found that 143 people connected to the rogue network on Tuesday and 162 people on Wednesday. In the space of just two hours on each day.
Afterwards the firm did a live demonstration on stage, where it set up a new wireless hotspot, calling it 'BT Openzone'. These networks connect to Iphones automatically, so when it was switched on Apple devices throughout the conference joined.
