You may find an evil twin out there — not your own but one that still can do great harm. That nasty double often awaits you at your airport, ready to attack when you least expect it.
That’s just one of the findings in a report that assesses the vulnerability of airport Wi-Fi, done not to bust the airports’ chops,but to make airports and travelers aware of the problems they could encounter.
Of the 45 airports reviewed, the report by Coronet said, two we might use could pose a special risk: San Diego and Orange County’s John Wayne, which rated No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the “Top 10 Most Vulnerable Airports.”
Airports, said Dror Liwer, chief security officer for Coronet, a cyber-security firm, are a fertile field because there’s a concentration of “high-value assets,” which include business travelers who may unwittingly open themselves up to an attack, he said.
