Technical explanation of why Google's Wi-Fi payload collection was inadvertent
- - - Here's an article forwarded to me that gives a good, somewhat technical explanation of why it's easy to accidentally collect Wi-Fi payload data in the course of mapping Wi-Fi access points: "Although some people are suspicious of their explanation, Google is almost certainly telling the truth when it claims it was an accident. The technology for WiFi scanning means it's easy to inadvertently capture too much information, and be unaware of it." http://bit.ly/95PrHq (Errata Security) --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
