I work at a news paper(in I.T) and I was telling the editor how to setup a wireless new work at home and I told him how to lock it down. I said to him if I went to any res area I bet I would pick up a lot of open hot spots.

Anyway 2 days later a reporter comes in saying the editor wants to do a story on the subject. So there I am with a photographer and a reporter driving around a middle class area.

47 hot spots found 18 fully open, one had left the default password on router. and one, I managed to get into the C:\ drive of his or hers desktop computer.

Please lock your networks down.
