I saw an interesting story on my local news last night on how many people with wireless networks in their home have unwittingly allowed their internet, and their computers, open to anyone with a wireless modem.
Not just hackers. I could drive around with a laptop and a wireless network card and get access to everything.
illions of people use the Internet every day, and with your business or your personal life growing more dependent on Internet communication, many people might be ready to take the next step and get a device that allows you to access the Internet on the go. But going wireless could mean your computer system goes unprotected. Computers as we first knew them were not meant to be portable. They were not lightweight, and with a maze of wires, they were a little tied down. But laptop computers are going everywhere and the Internet is going with them.
