Hackers hijack hotel Wi-Fi DNS to steal Microsoft 365 accounts
July 24, 2026
Back to all postsIn a recent cybersecurity incident, hackers exploited the DNS (Domain Name System) of hotel Wi-Fi networks to gain unauthorized access to Microsoft 365 accounts. The attackers manipulated the DNS settings to redirect users' web traffic, leading them to fake login pages where they could steal login credentials. This attack poses a significant threat to Canadian businesses, particularly those with employees traveling abroad, as hotel Wi-Fi networks are often used for work purposes. To protect against such attacks, it is crucial for SMBs and IT managers to implement multi-factor authentication for Microsoft 365 accounts, regularly update network security measures, and educate employees about potential phishing scams.
