None of the actual matters and this attack is rarely used these days. 99.9% of shit is encrypted "over the line". Unless you have some tls zero day you ain't getting shit besides leaked DNS.
Can't the hacker though spoof some fake websites and trick you into giving your information? If they control the WiFi they control the DNS don't they?
I'm mean sure if they have mapping for every major bank and target they are going for and a good enough fake to back it up.
But it's such a low success rate with it being easy to be caught is practically not done.
