City employees keep entering civic credentials into look-alike captive portals while traveling. Which WLAN phishing mitigation best reduces successful credential theft?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Fake portals are stage props with your city logo glued on—if people trust any login page on weird Wi-Fi, the attacker wins. Train folks, make the real portal look unmistakably official, and never type civic passwords on networks you do not control.
Full Explanation
WLAN-themed phishing and evil captive portals succeed when users habitually type organizational credentials into untrusted prompts. Awareness training, clear branding of legitimate portals, and policies that forbid credential entry on unknown networks reduce success rates. Expanding credential collection or weakening portal TLS increases exposure rather than mitigating phishing.
