From the article:

The man was investigated after an airline “reported concerns about a suspicious Wi-Fi network identified by its employees during a domestic flight.”

It’s alleged the accused’s collection of kit was used to create Wi-Fi hotspots with SSIDs confusingly similar to those airlines operate for in-flight access to the internet or streamed entertainment. Airport Wi-Fi was also targeted, and the AFP also found evidence of similar activities “at locations linked to the man’s previous employment.”

Wherever the accused’s rig ran, when users logged in to the network, they were asked to provide credentials.
The AFP alleges that details such as email addresses and passwords were saved to the suspect’s devices.

The charges laid against the man concern unauthorized access to devices and dishonest dealings. None of the charges laid suggest the accused used the data he allegedly accessed.

However three charges of “possession or control of data with the intent to commit a serious offence” suggest the alleged perp was alive to the possibilities of using the data for nefarious purposes.

Probably a ban evasion measure linked to your IP. Try changing your IP address and then comment, might work.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

This is what i fear. How much curation and monitoring will be done on the ads, or this will be another vector for malicious application

Firefox(Desktop): Ublock origin, Clearurls, Sponsorblock for YouTube,Clickbait remover.

Never "UBlock" always use "UBlock Origin"."UBlock origin" is way better(filters) than UBlock(which has an accepted ads program,also owned by Adblock Plus).
Its available for Firefox android.
