Everybody likes free Wi-Fi at hotels but there are risks involved. Hotel networks are targeted by cybercriminals who wait for hotel guests to logon to hotel networks before tricking them into downloading devices that infects spy software. The hackers fake network mirrors the freely available hotel service so that hackers can then steal account names, passwords and intercept files.

The more exclusive the hotels, the riskier they are. Business travelers are lucrative targets. Wi-Fi at business class lounges are particularly tempting.
