Searching for hidden networks sends unencrypted requests that hackers can intercept [4]. 4. *False sense of security:* Hiding the SSID does not offer effective protection against skilled hackers [1][3]. 5. *Possible Man-in-the-Middle attacks:* Hackers can create fake access points with the same SSID to intercept data traffic [4].
