FBI Warns Travelers Using Hotel Networks About New Attack

The FBI is warning travelers to be wary of attempts to infect their computers when they log on to hotel networks. In an intelligence note from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the agency says that attackers have been targeting travelers abroad when they use the Internet connection in their hotel rooms. According to the FBI, when the victims attempted to set up the hotel room Internet connection, they were presented with a pop-up window notifying them to update a "widely used software product."
