What risk can a fake network name create while connecting to wireless networks?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Personal information may be at risk
A fake wireless network name may imitate a trusted school, café, or public hotspot. If a user connects and enters passwords or sends data, an attacker may be able to observe or misuse that information, depending on the network and protections in use. Users should verify the network name, prefer trusted connections, and avoid sensitive activity on unknown networks. The other effects are unrelated.
