Thursday - August 03, 2006 at 10:03 AM inWi-Fi Vulnerability
Apparently a lot of wi-fi drivers on laptops and personal computers have some serious security vulnerabilities which could allow anyone within wireless range to break into the machine.
Fortunately, there's an easy cure: turn off the wi-fi. Even though there's no attack "in the wild" as yet, consider this a warning. Until the computer manufacturers issue updated drivers to fix the problems (which I don't expect will take long), be sure to turn off your wireless network unless you're actually using it.
