New or malicious Wi-Fi Access Point
When a new access point appears on the network, Fingbox will log this event as a potential
risk (yellow shield).
An attacker may add an access point to induce client devices to connect and intercept their
traffic looking for access credentials or valuable information (typical Man-in-the-middle
approach). This technique also allows the attacker to serve fake web pages inducing people to
enter their credentials voluntarily (this approach is called phishing).
If you added this access point, tap on the event and acknowledge by tapping OK.
Fingbox will confirm and mark the event as SAFE (green shield).
