I wonder if I can sell my WiFI AP name to some advertiser...
"ENJOY COCA-COLA"
or more likely
"TOM BRADY SAYS BUY CRYPTO"

My blog is honeypot.net. It’s always fun to watch people trying to decide whether to click that link.

In the early days of insecure WiFi, in apartment buildings you would see network names like "Don't steal our WiFi Room 238!"

I see this joke frequently when looking at available wifi; is this meme a reference to a particular thing (other than the FBI having surveillance vans) or did a bunch of people just converge onto it?

Some years ago there was a lot of stuff on 4Chan about “FBI party van”, “vanned”, v&, etc. I’m guessing that’s part of where it has come from.

I've never seen it. Maybe it's spreading like a fungus from wifi to wifi in certain regions.

I saw it as a meme years a go. I sadly don't know the origin.
