evil twin, attacker AP setup with for example Starbucks1Guest to get you to attach, you still get out to internet but attacker can see all you do. FYI always use VPN when in public WIFI, or better yet NEVER EVER attach to any public WIFI use your cell service instead w/ VPN on of course.

Slightly different from a rogue AP

"Clients running Linux, macOS, or a modern version of Windows will first attempt to associate with a known access point. This feature can result in network devices connecting to rogue access points, or access points offering a connection to the Internet without the authorization of the area’s network administrator. One type of rogue access point, an evil twin, can be used to trick a device into connecting to the wrong network by broadcasting the same SSID as the authorized network or another SSID that appears just as legitimate to the user." ---CompTIA Network+ Guide to Networks, 9th ed.
