GOP delegates suckered into connecting to insecure Wi-Fi hotspots
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/21/gop_wifi_privacy_fail/
Avast researchers set up fake Wi-Fi networks at various
locations around the Quicken Loans Arena and at Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport with fake network names (SSIDs)
such as "Google Starbucks", "Xfinitywifi", "Attwifi", "I vote
Trump! free Internet" and "I vote Hillary! free Internet"
that were either commonplace across the US or looked like they
were set up for convention attendees. Of the people
connecting to the fake candidate name Wi-Fi in Cleveland, 70
per cent connected to the Trump-related Wi-Fi, 30 per cent to
the Clinton-related Wi-Fi.
