| Jun 30, 2017 at 15:25 | comment | added | Steffen Ullrich | Do I understand it correctly that you would somehow (with VPN) trust a network named similar to a coffee shop even if you don't know if this really from the coffee shop but you would less trust a network with some unrelated name. But, wouldn't you expect that a smart hacker does a bit of social engineering and will make his network sound more appealing? This would mean that you should trust a network with a seemingly trustable name even less :) | |
