ON a Delta flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta, passengers allegedly spoofed the onboard Wi-Fi, prompting an investigation by federal law enforcement. This occurred shortly after the DEF CON security conference, where individuals reportedly created a fake hotspot named 'Delta WiFi Fast' to capture personal credentials from other passengers. Delta confirmed that the unauthorized Wi-Fi network was not provided by them and stated that flight safety was never compromised. The Atlanta FBI is investigating the incident, but no arrests were made and agents did not meet the flight upon landing.
