Picture This:
You're at your favorite coffee shop. You open your laptop, connect to “CoffeeShop_WiFi,” and get to work—checking email, logging into your client portal, and uploading a few files to the company drive.
Everything seems normal.
What you don’t realize is that the network you just connected to isn’t the real coffee shop Wi-Fi—it's a fake network set up by a hacker sitting three tables away.
You’ve just fallen for an Evil Twin attack.
What Is an Evil Twin Attack?
An “Evil Twin” is a cyber trick where a hacker sets up a rogue Wi-Fi hotspot with the same name as a legitimate network. It looks identical to the real thing—but once you're connected, they can monitor your traffic, steal credentials, and even inject malicious code.
These attacks are especially dangerous for:
Remote employees using work devices
Freelancers and contractors
Anyone handling sensitive client info outside the office
And they’re shockingly easy to pull off.
Why This Threat Matters to Small Businesses
Small businesses often don’t have formal VPN policies in place. That means:
Employees might log into accounting platforms or CRM systems over open networks
Confidential documents could be accessed without encryption
A single laptop compromise could put an entire client relationship at risk
You don't need to be a major corporation to be a target. In fact, small companies are often low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals.
