Politicians and journalists stung by fake open Wi-Fi protest

Politicians, journalists, and security experts were left red-faced after connecting to an open Wi-Fi network set up by a member of The Swedish Pirate Party to protest mass digital surveillance.

Gustav Nipe, who is president of the Swedish Pirate Party’s youth wing, set up a Wi-Fi network called ‘Open Guest’ and was able to track the sites visited by around 100 conference delegates, reports Ars Technica.
