SlowMist Chief Information Security Officer 23pds said in a post on X that public WiFi by itself does not lead to crypto asset losses. He said the real threat comes from the phishing route opened by a fake WiFi network, combined with a user’s own follow-up actions, such as signing a transaction or importing a private key. According to 23pds, the key factor is not simply whether someone connected to public WiFi, but which websites they visited and what actions they took after connecting. His comments frame the risk around phishing exposure and user behavior rather than treating public WiFi as a direct cause of stolen funds. The post focuses on the sequence of events that can lead to losses: a fake network creates the phishing entry point, and user interaction completes the attack path.
