Wi-Fi 'Evil Twin' to become troublemaker - ZDNet UK News

Basically, an "Evil Twin" is a false wireless access point that pretends to be the access point that you really wish to log on to. "Evil Twins" can be present at any public access point and seek to trick unsuspecting computer users to log onto their wi fi access points where they will gather confidential information such as passwords from these unsuspecting users. The best way to protect yourself is to have your wi-fi hardware configured in the most secure mode possible and to avoid sending confidential information over public web access.
