DNS Spoofing on Cafe Wi-Fi Can Expose All Your Traffic — MFA Won't Save You

- Responding to a question about whether MFA helps, kingslyj clarifies this is not an authentication issue but traffic interception.
- Between April 2025 and recently, an attacker able to send you a spoofed DNS response (e.g., on cafe or airport Wi-Fi) could MITM your connection.
- Once MITM'd, the attacker can see and grab all your traffic — MFA does not protect against this class of attack.
