The other day I was setting up a wireless printer for a customer.
New printer, new laptop. A fairly simple job which took not even 30 minutes.
And the kicker?.....it was an unsecured open home network.
Always...ALWAYS ensure your wireless network at
least has a WPA password protected network.
WPA2 is preferred and WEP is weak.
New poll sponsored by the Wi-Fi Alliance finds that 32 percent of those questioned admit to trying to access Wi-Fi networks that weren't theirs, up from 18 percent two years ago.
CNET has a good article on unsecure home networks here.
