As Target and Neiman Marcus have shown, you are millions of times more likely to be compromised personally than ever being compromised by a hacker of a modem at an RV park. Doubt anyone can actually cite or find an actual verifiable account of that ever happening. The clerk at the convenience store or the waitress at the restaurant is a much bigger threat than any wifi connection.
Of course. It is VERY unlikely that this would happen to anyone but it is SOOOOOOOOO easy to do when you are already given the WPA password. All you have to do is crack the router's admin password (if there even is one!).
I just thought it would be good knowledge to put out there. As I said previously, most major banks have simple reverse authentication systems to combat it but I could see some who are very technology illiterate falling for even the simplest pharming.
