Point
When ​ ​ a ​ ​​ new ​ ​ access ​ ​ point ​ ​​ appears ​ ​ on ​ ​ the ​ ​ network, ​ ​ Fingbox ​ ​ will ​ ​ log ​ ​ this ​ ​ event ​ ​ as ​ ​ a ​ ​​ potential
risk ​​ ​ (yellow ​ ​ shield).
An ​ ​ attacker ​ ​ may ​ ​ add ​ ​ an ​ ​ access ​ ​ point ​ ​ to ​ ​ induce ​ ​ client ​ ​ devices ​ ​ to ​ ​ connect ​ ​ and ​ ​ intercept ​ ​ their
traffic ​ ​ looking ​ ​ for ​ ​ access ​ ​ credentials ​ ​ or ​ ​ valuable ​ ​ information ​ ​ (typical ​ ​ Man-in-the-middle
approach). ​ ​ This ​ ​ technique ​ ​ also ​ ​ allows ​ ​ the ​ ​ attacker ​ ​ to ​ ​ serve ​ ​ fake ​ ​ web ​ ​ pages ​ ​ inducing ​ ​ people ​ ​ to
enter ​ ​ their ​ ​ credentials ​ ​ voluntarily ​ ​ (this ​ ​ approach ​ ​ is ​ ​ called ​ ​ phishing).
