This scenario is indicative of an 'Evil twin' attack, where a rogue access point is set up by a malicious actor to emulate a legitimate one. By duping users into connecting to this faux access point, the attacker can capture sensitive data. This type of threat leverages the trust users have in their known Wi-Fi networks to achieve nefarious goals. Choosing other options could seem plausible: an 'On-path attack,' formerly known as a man-in-the-middle attack, involves intercepting and possibly altering communications, but does not directly pertain to setting up rogue APs. 'Impersonation' involves an attacker posing as another person, which is not specific to creating illegitimate network access points. 'Spoofing' in the context of networks generally refers to misrepresenting the source of network packets, not the act of deploying a counterfeit access point.
