Unfriendly airwaves? There’s a class for that!
It seems that Newscientist.com has discovered that wireless computing isn’t very safe. Wow. I’ve been telling everyone to secure your wireless router for years. Now the time has come that its not enough. This is a great read about what hackers can do even if you have your wireless router secured.
The truth is don’t get all panicky just yet. There is hope for the rest of you and a ton of resources out there. I personal like what cnet.com has setup with the classroom series. Go over to there Wireless Security online class and learn how you can help protect your data. Now I might go on and on and on about how dangerous the wireless world is, however i’m sitting here in bed with a pillow between me and the 1,000 degree laptop I’m blogging with. Keep those wires cut, but protect yourself with some knowledge at these classes: http://wireless-security.classes.cnet.com/

I keep my wireless secured, I just cannot afford to sabotage my computer. Sometimes I have my laptop with me in the car running – and I cannot believe how many there are unsecured. I have funny story to tell. I was running this R&D centre, and being separate unit we had to have some wireless system installed. I am not computer person so I may not explain this properly. One day we ran into some issues and IT guys came in and were checking the signal out. Believe or not they were able to tap into next door system, they saw accounting system and they even saw security cameras running in the warehouse. At least something was secured. The funny part was that they were assembling and selling computers or computer components. You should have seen their faces, when they saw their warehouse from somewhere else. I though I share that with some of you. Yeah you can get exposure to the world, but the exposure you don’t want others to see. Good thing was that we were the good guys. Anna
