BBC NEWS | Technology | Wireless hijacking under scrutiny
LOL this is brilliant. Two things I like about this story, well maybe not like but comments I have to make,
Firstly, The person who owned the wireless network should be fined for leaving backdoors open on the network that allow people to piggy-back their connection on it
Secondly, The person that did this should be given a job in Internet/Computer Security - he/she clearly knows a few things
I have a wireless network at home, tired to MAC addresses of connecting computers - so only people on the network are those machines that I have identified prior to connecting..it's an easy job, hell there's a Wizard that does it for you on most Wireless Gateways lol
People ignorance to computers and security is shocking, just about everything on the computer has a Wizard of some sort that will fix/secure/aid all your desires.
Anyway, enough of my ranting, back to Progamming.. :(
Stay Safe
