 **New WiFi Vulnerability: The SSID Confusion Attack**

"A new vulnerability arising from a design flaw in the WiFi standard allows attackers to trick victims into connecting to less secure networks and intercept their traffic.

Additionally, the attack can exploit the auto-disconnect feature in certain VPN clients, which automatically disables the VPN connection when the device connects to a predefined “trusted” WiFi network."

 Sounds like fun. I may have to ..... wait, I didn't say anything.  ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H 
 Indeed. ;) 
 😱 However, I wonder if the OCD habit of disconnecting and then reconnecting to their VPN, just to make sure they’re connected to their VPN, can be considered as a mitigation measure? 😅 
 i can't wait until the earth's magnetic field is so weak that all the devices radio amplifiers are overloaded by a CME
