Online Scams in Lisbon

Fake Tourist Wi-Fi Hotspots

Rogue Wi-Fi networks named "Lisbon_Tourist_Free", "LisbonFreeWifi", or variations resembling official city hotspots appear around Praça do Comércio, Belém waterfront, and the Santa Justa Lift area. Connecting routes all traffic through an attacker-controlled node that harvests login credentials, banking sessions, and payment details entered on any unencrypted site. Some networks serve convincing phishing pages that mimic hotel booking portals asking victims to re-enter payment card details to "confirm a reservation".
