Experts caution that the iPhone's 'Auto-Join' WiFi setting poses serious security risks by automatically connecting devices to public networks, which can be exploited by hackers. Malicious individuals often create fake hotspots with names similar to legitimate networks, tricking users into connecting. Once linked, hackers can steal sensitive information, install malware, and stage sophisticated attacks like KRACK or BlueBorne, which compromise data security. The NSA recommends disabling connections to public WiFi altogether and suggests turning off Bluetooth when not in use for enhanced protection.
Auto-Join makes iPhone users susceptible to hackers by automatically connecting to malicious WiFi networks, potentially exposing personal data like passwords and bank accounts.
