-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Information_technology] Daily News 09/19/02 Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 11:27:33 -0500 From: "NIPC Watch" <nipcwatch@private> To: "Information Technology" <information_technology@private> September 18, Atlanta Journal and Constitution - Lack of wireless security in Atlanta is an invitation to hackers. On a quick drive through Atlanta -- from its residential streets to the downtown business districts -- even a klutz of a computer hacker has literally hundreds of chances to view everything from your credit card information to confidential business files. All you need is a laptop computer, a wireless network card, a $ 20 antenna and software you can download for free from the Internet. A recent survey of wireless security in Atlanta found that about two-thirds of all wireless computer networks here offer easy entry, even to someone with average computing skills.
