Wi-Fi Phishing
Wi-Fi phishing is a cyberattack in which malicious actors create deceptive Wi-Fi networks that mimic legitimate ones. These rogue Wi-Fi networks are designed to trick users into connecting to them, often by using network names (SSIDs) that resemble familiar, trusted networks, such as public Wi-Fi hotspots, cafes, or airports.
Once a victim connects to the rogue Wi-Fi network, the attackers can engage in various malicious activities. The Wi-Fi Phishing add-on integrates with the Endpoint Security module to extend endpoint security posture by detecting connections that are suspicious of Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks. These MitM attacks allow attackers to manipulate or steal information.
To detect and prevent MitM and other sophisticated phishing attacks, Coro leverages concepts such as logo recognition and image analysis, together with an advanced indicator dependency architecture. These work together to strengthen security and maintain network integrity.
note
The Wi-Fi Phishing add-on requires the Endpoint Security module to be enabled on your workspace.
