I found out about a internet hoac called the evil twin. The evi twin hoax is a
pretty simple. A hacker will set up a website that seems like a professinal
buisnesses website i.e. Starbucks. It will ask for personal inforamtion from
whomever is viewing the site. The hacker the uses this personal information to
take adavnatge of viewers inforamtion. The hacker is able to connect to your
internet and find your passwords and someitmes your credit card number.
