Delta Flight to Atlanta Under Investigation for Hoax Wi-Fi Network Incident
Authorities are investigating a cybersecurity incident on Delta flight 591 from Las Vegas to Atlanta, where a hoax Wi-Fi network appeared during the flight. The incident, which occurred on August 10, 2026, prompted the cabin crew to deactivate the plane's Wi-Fi for about 30 minutes. Delta Air Lines confirmed that no systems were hacked and the safety of the flight was never in question. The airline is working with federal law enforcement and aviation regulators to investigate the incident, which is suspected to be an 'evil twin attack' where hackers create a fake network to intercept data.
