Why you should protect your wireless network

Filed in archive Wireless on August 2, 2007

A very interesting five minutes showing you just how simple it can be for anyone to use your wireless network and see exactly everything you are doing online.



The video shows a group of people setup with a van to detect Wireless Networks in a residential area. When they pick up an unprotected wireless network they show how easy it is to login and see everything the wireless network owner is doing.

Then they confront the network owner he is absolutely surprised at what the network hijackers could actually see.

This is a must see video particularly if you are running your wi-fi network without using a WEP or WPA (security devices for a wi-fi network).
