Which type of Internet connection option in a café could potentially be a rogue access point?

A public WiFi hotspot can potentially be a rogue access point because it is often set up to provide easy access for anyone in the vicinity, which makes it more susceptible to malicious use. Attackers can create a rogue access point that mimics the legitimate café WiFi, luring unsuspecting users to connect to it instead. Once connected to this rogue access point, users’ data can be intercepted, or they could be exposed to various attacks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks.

In contrast, an Ethernet wall connection typically provides a more secure and direct connection to the internet, reducing the risk of interception associated with wireless networks. Moreover, a password-protected WiFi hotspot adds an additional layer of security, requiring authentication before users can access the network, making it less likely to be a rogue access point. Therefore, the nature of public WiFi hotspots, which lacks such controls, makes them a prime target for being compromised or fraudulently set up as rogue access points.
