Delta flight temporarily shuts off Wi‑Fi after rogue onboard network sets off alarm

A Delta Air Lines flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta was disrupted when an unauthorized Wi‑Fi network appeared onboard, prompting crew to disable the aircraft’s internet for about 30 minutes. Delta stated no systems were hacked and the flight continued to Atlanta, with federal investigators involved to gather facts. Experts note that rogue onboard networks are uncommon but urge passengers to connect only to the airline’s official network, underscoring the need for clearer network naming and improved onboard Wi‑Fi security.
