The Security Issues in Using Public Wi-Fi — “Honeypots” And “Pineapples” are a security issue. The findings should be a red flag to all users. While some hotspots are secure, many are actually not. Some users will fall for a honeypot because it is free. The honeypot will often use the name of the establishment's hotspot or the most likely name people would assume. This is not a very good practice, but those who recognize it will be better off not connecting.
