Hackers are tampering with Wi-Fi equipment at hotels and conference centers, turning an everyday internet connection into a path toward fake Microsoft 365 login pages.

The hotel Wi-Fi phishing attack poses a particular risk to business travelers.

You might connect before a meeting, open your laptop and see what appears to be a normal Microsoft sign-in screen.

However, the hotel's compromised network may have quietly sent you to a page controlled by hackers.

Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format 1
Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
Attributed claims 1
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

Cybersecurity company ReliaQuest says the campaign has been active since at least June.
Uncertainty qualifiers 2
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

You might connect before a meeting, open your laptop and see what appears to be a normal Microsoft sign-in screen.
Attributed framing cues 1
Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.

Unfortunately, ReliaQuest says that step alone cannot block this campaign.
