The attack began when the user connected to an unsecured hotel WiFi network. On open networks, attackers can exploit techniques like ARP spoofing or DNS manipulation to inject malicious code into otherwise legitimate websites.

According to Hacken’s cybersecurity team, even trusted DeFi front ends can become dangerous if the execution environment is compromised. That means a swap or signature request may not be what it appears to be. The victim believed he was interacting normally — but the network itself had become the attack vector.

Lesson: public WiFi turns every crypto action into a high-risk move.
