23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Mist, tweeted that public WiFi itself does not steal coins. The losses are caused by phishing pages opened by fake WiFi and actions taken by users themselves, such as signing transactions or importing private keys. What websites users visit and what actions they take after connecting are the core factors that could lead to asset loss. Previously, X user Xiaoyu_184CM tweeted that after connecting to free WiFi at Singapore Airport, a wallet that had not been used for trading for a month lost 3.7 BNB. Binance founder CZ responded that he has always advised against connecting to public WiFi, but merely connecting to WiFi should not lead to wallet theft, and he inquired if there were any other actions taken in between. Crypto KOL AB KuaiDong speculated that someone may have specifically set up free WiFi with modified routers, and Xiaoyu expressed that he believes this is likely the case.
