[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 951605, member: 71335"] Another way is fake or rogue network using the same name and and possible same login information as the real one. They don't need to drop malware onto your computer to steal your login credentials from your browser. The fake or rogue network will record and capture what site you go, what you do on that site, your login information, and how long you stay there. This is the easy way to avoid antivirus and firewall detection. The fake network will behave normal as the real network except the fake network record and capture your browser activity while the real one doesn't. Linux has less risk getting malware than Windows but that doesn't mean it is completely safe. If a hacker can develop malicious tools for Windows then they can do it for Linux too. [/QUOTE]
