This doesn’t seem novel in any way. Intercept traffic and get someone to run malware? I was going to ask “who is dumb enough to run installers from a hotel WiFi portal?” but I see it’s the clickfix approach so yes, some may fall for that. Either way, the entire attack hangs on someone installing malware down their hotel WiFi portal. While this is not new, and is quite dumb for 2020s, I guess it’s not dumb if it works. The highlight part is doing a lot of lifting.

Good luck, and love the neighborhood type planning, but why the need for negative rhetoric “we stopped?” California continued as an innovation engine with software and biotech. Perhaps another chapter can be physical again. Don’t put down to elevate yourself. Good luck.

@CharlesSchwab 20 minutes of this now, on a day of volatility. Why have a stock account with you if I can’t access it? Please don’t tell me to contact tech support, the power cable is plugged in.

If you want to branch out, my #1 in security over the past 15 years is Dan Geer’s “cybersecurity as Realpolitik” keynote at BH2014 youtu.be/nT-TGvYOBpI

There only get better - Dali and Rembrandt hackers
#infosec mandate: Only Dall-E images of hackers allowed in presentations from now on: "Picasso painting of a hacker"
