The following was taken from Feb 2004 Crypto-Gram:

"Interesting computer-related theft from an Israeli bank.  Someone
installed a wireless networking device on a computer rack in the bank,
and then used it to gain surreptitious access into the system.  I think
this sort of thing is a harbinger of computer crime to come.

That is also a subject to keep an eye in the hospital environment.
It is so easy (and fast too) to insert a keychain WiFi device in a USB
port. These devices are now widely available at prices as low as €40.
And, as some of us know well, most of the time USB ports get no attention to security issues whatsoever.


The following guide may be of some (related) usefulness:
