Microsoft warns travelers of cyberattacks targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks

Microsoft has issued a cybersecurity warning for travelers using hotel Wi-Fi networks. A campaign called CaptiveCrunch, attributed to threat group Storm-2945, directs users to fake portals designed to steal credentials. Unsuspecting victims may download malicious files or unknowingly share sensitive data through these portals. The attacks primarily aim to compromise Microsoft 365 accounts and gain unauthorized access to networks. Microsoft advises travelers to use cellular hotspots and ignore unexpected pop-up notifications while on the road.
