Wi-Fi Pineapple Drone Attack

Attackers pull off the road and launch a drone carrying a Wi-Fi Pineapple, a device built to join a target’s Wi-Fi network. The drone lands on the office roof, where the Pineapple can sit for days listening in. The attackers expect to have what they came for long before anyone notices.

This time, someone is watching. Bastille detects the rogue access point the moment it tries to engage the office airspace, then locates it and sends a real-time alert to the security team.

Key Takeaways

• A Wi-Fi Pineapple delivered by drone can reach a building’s wireless network without anyone entering the facility
• Rogue access points can sit unnoticed for days, collecting data from nearby devices and networks
• Bastille detects and locates rogue RF devices the moment they engage the airspace, not after the breach
