RE: Wlan @ bestbuy is cleartext?

["Michael Cunningham" <m.cunningham () xpedite com>]

This information is already going public. 
I have gotten several emails from newspapers
and online websites (big names to). 

The faster it is exposed the less damage people
with not the best of intentions can do. Realisticaly 
the underground community probably makes up 
half or more of this mailing list. 

I personally am going to scan my local stores tonight 
to see if I can detect this problem. I cant trust 
a company with my credit card info who cant even 
setup a 802.11b lan correctly. I will let everyone 
know what I find. 

Thanks,
Mike
