They're not random networks though. Sometimes I do use the station wifi (so it's in my network list), but that's if I'm parked there for 15 minutes waiting for a train and want to stream a YouTube channel or download a podcast. Just not when I'm on the train passing it.
I think another person mentioned a possible solution in a different thread. Just tell it to not auto-join those specific networks. It's not necessarily ideal, but it should work.
I believe they gave you directions on how to do it, in the other thread about the exploits. I'm not really spying, I just happened to just finish reading that thread and noticed the train similarities.
That should solve it for you. I'd find that behavior maddening. Fortunately, that's not a likely problem for me.
Yeah I just saw that comment after I replied here. As you say, not ideal but it should help at least.
You can turn off auto-join for specific networks.
