Attackers can create fake Wi-Fi networks that appear legitimate, and when users connect to these networks, the attacker gains control over all traffic between the user and the internet, enabling them to intercept passwords and sensitive information. This attack is commonly called a 'man-in-the-middle' attack and can occur in public places like airports and coffee shops where multiple users share the same network infrastructure.
