According to CoinMeta, Slow Mist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds tweeted that the public WiFi does not steal coins; it is the phishing pages opened by fake WiFi that are responsible for coin theft. Whether asset loss occurs depends on what websites users visit and what actions they take after connecting to these phishing pages, as well as any transactions they sign or private keys they import. Previously, a user in Singapore connected to a free WiFi service, and 3.7 BNB coins were transferred from a wallet that had not been used for several months. Anan Benioff, the founder of Binance, responded to this incident by stating that he has never recommended connecting to public WiFi, and that simply connecting to WiFi should not lead to wallet theft. He asked if there were any other intermediate actions involved. Experts in the crypto industry KOL ab kuaidong speculated that someone might have specifically set up the free WiFi service, and the fact that routers were modified xiaoyu suggests that this is likely the case.
