Another entry in an endless series of "Wi-Fi security risk" articles, this time from Edinburgh, Scotland: This article is only slightly sensational, which might result from the reporter having heard these claims for the first time about the risks of a wireless network. But they're not too far off the mark.
The biggest problem in articles that cite the number of "open" access points, as a reader recently pointed out to me, is that unless you connect to the point and probe, you can't tell whether the gateway is inside or outside a firewall or has other restrictions.
