Passenger staged evil-twin Wi-Fi spoof on Delta flight

A passenger set up a rogue access point mimicking Delta's in-flight Wi-Fi on a Las Vegas-to-Atlanta flight on August 10, 2026. Pilots alerted air traffic control twice; the crew shut down the legitimate network for about 30 minutes. Delta confirmed no aircraft systems were affected and referred the incident to federal law enforcement. The FAA says it has not received a report.
