WiFi attacks disproportionately target specific profiles: traveling executives connecting through hotel and conference WiFi, remote workers on home networks, cryptocurrency investors with significant on-chain holdings, and healthcare workers accessing patient records from mobile devices. This section documents the threat profiles that matter most, drawing on documented case studies and incident reports.

Understanding your threat profile is prerequisite to allocating defensive resources effectively. A law firm handling M&A transactions faces different risks than a retailer with a large retail footprint. The threat actors differ—criminal financially-motivated actors versus nation-state intelligence collection—along with their techniques, objectives, and the value they place on different targets.

Each risk category page covers the specific attacks most relevant to that profile, the real-world incidents that demonstrate the threat, and the defensive controls that address the most probable attack paths. Use these pages to build your threat model and prioritize your defensive investments accordingly.
