7 Year Old Girl Hacks Public Wi-Fi Network in 11 Minutes

It took Betsy just 10 minutes and 54 seconds to learn how to set up a rogue access point, frequently used by attackers to activate what is known as a ‘man in the middle’ (MiTm) attack. After setting up a rogue access point, Betsy managed to eavesdrop on the willing participants (victim’s) internet traffic. More worry is that the 7 year old primary schooler used the hacking instructions available extensively online through Google Search engine. If a 7 year old can take less than 11 minutes to hack into a computer through a Public Wi-Fi hotspot, just imagine how easily a hardened cyber criminal can break into any computer that is connected to such public Wi-Fi systems.
