**New WiFi Vulnerability: The SSID Confusion Attack**

"A new vulnerability arising from a design flaw in the WiFi standard allows attackers to trick victims into connecting to less secure networks and intercept their traffic.

Additionally, the attack can exploit the auto-disconnect feature in certain VPN clients, which automatically disables the VPN connection when the device connects to a predefined “trusted” WiFi network."

Sounds like fun. I may have to ..... wait, I didn't say anything. ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H

Indeed. ;)

😱 However, I wonder if the OCD habit of disconnecting and then reconnecting to their VPN, just to make sure they’re connected to their VPN, can be considered as a mitigation measure? 😅
