Passenger returning from DEF CON 34 spoofs Delta Wi-Fi network while in flight using pentest tool — pilots tell ground crew to alert corporate security after attendee from hacking conference brings the party to the sky

No one on board was affected by compromised credentials, but the incident raised concerns about online security risks posed by devices brought onto commercial flights for cyber events.
