VPN doesn’t to shit in this situation. This is sniffing. You log in to the network And people have the habit of saying I accept. He probably just accepted to give the person admin rights and sniffed his profile and keystrokes. Pretty much looking at everything he does on the screen to his password. Now better situation here is using 2FA. Now if he did this on his phone even that could be compromised. If you accept the connection and let it install a profile on your phone you are basically giving the dude access to your phone and your home screen. They can even probably launch the Authenticator app. Best thing here’s is awareness, if you connect to public WiFi don’t accept any rogue profile request. If the connection asks you for it then don’t even connect. Best solution is to avoid public WiFi’s unless you are in Starbucks or something. I even avoid those. If you really need WiFi on the go turn on your cell hotspot.
