Noticed something weird at the coffee shop WiFi
Was at Blue Bottle on 3rd street yesterday. Sat near the back. Saw 3 people connect to an open network called "Free Coffee Shop WiFi". But there was also a legit one from the shop. Nobody checked which was real. Too easy to set up a fake hotspot there. Has anyone else spotted this at their local spots?

Yeah I've seen this exact thing at a local cafe near my shop. Always double check with the barista before clicking on any network, it takes two seconds and saves you a headache.

Maybe I'm the only one who just blindly clicks 'free wifi' like it's a watering hole in the desert. Learned that lesson the hard way last week.
