Malware installed through Hotel Internet Connection


IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) just released an intelligence note stating a recent discovery by the FBI of malicious actors targeting travelers abroad through pop-up windows when they attempt an Internet connection to their hotel rooms. If a traveler attempts an Internet connection, he is presented with a pop-up window notifying him to update a widely-used and legitimate software product. If installed, malware is installed on the laptop. So take your software updates right before traveling and don't install any software while on the road.
