People love to get creative with WiFi names.
Pretty Fly for a WiFi, It Hurts When IP, LAN Solo, I’m Under Your Bed and Get Your Own Damn WiFi are all fine examples of puns and veiled threats.
“Experts said the Wi-Fi network in question was created on board. No irregularities were seen after security procedures were carried out, and passengers were brought back on the plane once boarding restarted.”
According to news.com.au, the flight landed at the Khartoum airport in Sudan and was safely resumed after a security check of all passengers and the aircraft.
It’s not clear whether the passenger responsible for the name was able to be identified by authorities.
Frustratingly, this isn’t the first time a prank like this has been played, Mirror said.
Back in May a flight from Cancun to London Gatwick was cancelled after a passenger on board noticed a WiFi hotspot called “Jihadist Cell London 1” and told staff.
A Quantas flight was delayed for two hours minutes before takeoff last year after the authorities were alerted to a network called “Mobile Detonation Device.”
