According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post and Chinese media Chongqing TV, a Chinese woman surnamed Li visited a hotel in Chongqing with her boyfriend during the Labor Day holiday.
The hotel reception desk said her smartphone was automatically connected to Wi-Fi.
In the process of using a digital identification card, an automatic Wi-Fi connection notification appeared.
Boyfriend asked Lee if he had ever been to a hotel with anyone else before.
Lee said it was his first visit, but he couldn't explain why his phone was automatically connected to the hotel Wi-Fi.
After an argument, my boyfriend informed me of the breakup, suspecting Lee had an affair.
In fact, when he went to the hotel for the first time, even his friends felt insulted because they did not believe in him, and he began to look for reasons on his own to prove his innocence.
Eventually, she found out that other hotels in Chongqing, where she works, and that hotel offer the same Wi-Fi.
She contacted her ex-boyfriend to clarify, but he refused to talk and deleted her account from the chat app.
Lee accepted the breakup, saying he had no intention of seeing a man who didn't trust him again.
In fact, a Chongqing TV reporter went to Lee's workplace and connected to Wi-Fi and visited the hotel, and Wi-Fi was automatically connected.
A cybersecurity expert explained that it is normal to connect to a new Wi-Fi with the same user name and password if the smartphone automatically stores previous login information. He also advised turning off the auto-save function as it could be a security risk.
