An 'Evil twin' is a rogue Wi-Fi access point that appears to be legitimate but is set up to eavesdrop on wireless communications. This type of attack involves setting up a wireless access point with the same SSID as a legitimate network to deceive users into connecting to the malicious network instead. Once connected, attackers can potentially capture sensitive data transmitted by the user. The incorrect options are typical security threats or concepts but do not specifically describe the mechanism or goal of an 'Evil twin' attack.
