This extreme sophistication rendered to the mobile Wi-Fi users prorogues them to do all pecuniary transaction through mobile phones. A Wi-Fi hotspot which connects such hand held devices has become a temporary repository of sensitive information, thereby giving an opportunity for hackers to accrue monetary gain. Therefore information security policies addressing Wi-Fi hotspots (Wi-Fi phishing attack) has become the need of the hour. The possible ways to attack the security of Wi-Fi hotspots and counter-attack mechanisms has been addressed in this paper. In this paper a live Wi-Fi Phishing attack has been demonstrated and a novel approach based on association rule mining to circumvent the same has been discussed in this paper.
