Folks, Well I finished my drive around town.. within feet of several Walmarts, Home Depots and Kmart's front door and found nothing. Nada, no 802.11b networks at all. Perhaps this is only a regional thing? Or just brand new stores? These stores have been around for years. Perhaps the original poster could elaborate a bit on where they are located? Is it a new store? etc. Mike

Folks, I assume half the mailing list is going to be driving around their towns tonight scanning for this problem. I know I will. I am not about to give my credit card to a store that cant even keep the number secure. Might I suggest we begin reporting confirmed stores and the issues found here so the media can get the word out effectivily. The more names that are listed here means more pressure the general public and the media will place on these stores to rapidly fix the problem. Obviously this mailing list is read by many in the underground community. I am sure many will begin scanning almost immediatly if they aren't already. A rapid response by the security community might prevent widespread identity theft. Thanks, Mike
