RSA Conference 2017 attendees hacked with rogue access points

Experts at Pwnie Express discovered multiple rogue access points on the show floor that were used to hack the RSA conference attendees. In an EvilAP attack, a rogue access point uses a Karma attack to trick users into thinking they are connecting to a known Wi-Fi network. At least two of the access point beacons were sent out in the EvilAP attacks at the RSA Conference are common locations like Starbucks and McDonalds. An attacker can gain full control of all information going into and out of the device and launch man-in-the-middle attacks.”]
