In-Reply-To: <3CD097DA.2090309 () thievco com> Very good point, while working with a Government Agency a few years ago, I was doing a vulnerability assessment and showed them how vulnerable their system was. (two mouse clicks away from the password file - that's what got to DC) They were also using wlan and I suggested that we at least test it. They didn't want to ruffle the feathers of the director of the hospital since we had already embarrassed him about the password file. They would have rather sent a team of gun carring investigators to set up a sniffer to check for porn. That's why this country is so secure.
Another anonymous comment: --------------- What is more scary than CCs, many drug stores & hospitals
have their
business connected via unencrypted 802.11b. I thought
that medical
companies were required to do all things neccesary to
protect medical
records. I'm surprised that many companies have not been
sued over
this one yet. --------------- BB
