When using hotel Wi-Fi to order a new book, the primary risk is a man-in-the-middle attack. In this type of attack, a malicious actor can intercept the communication between your device and the website you are accessing, potentially capturing sensitive information such as payment details. While other options like IoT attacks and denial-of-service attacks may pose risks in different contexts, the specific risk associated with online transactions conducted over unsecured or public Wi-Fi primarily centers around man-in-the-middle attacks.
