Now You Know: Hotels Inject Banner Ads Into The Wi-Fi They Charge You For

This story made the rounds a few days ago but I think generally it's something more people should know. During a visit to the very expensive and not very nice Times Square Marriott, Justin Watt noticed a strange bar at the top of his blog's home page. He had recently dealt with a PHP hack and so was alert for changes on the site and when he dug further he found some strange Javascript embedded into the page. Noting that nothing changed on his server, he posted on the experience and thought little more about it - until a commenter noted that the behavior he noticed was coming from an RXG A8 or "Revenue Extraction Hotspot Gateway." In short, this box, which sits between the access point and the Internet, injects ads into Wi-Fi streams.
