It depends who "they" are. If "they" are international terrorists then I wouldn't assume they're interested in my network, I don't have any information regarding how to make bombs out of face cream and airline pretzels. On the other hand, if "they" are my neighbor's 16 year old son...who knows what he might find on my network that he likes the look of (music files, financial info, photos of my wife, etc). And he doesn't even have to leave his bedroom to attack it - just download a cracker, hit a button a wait a few minutes. As has been mentioned, it's not difficult to switch on encryption, it doesn't cost anything, so I simply don't understand why you wouldn't use it (unless of course you were intentionally leaving an open access point - which is another matter). -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44054 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
