RE: [Mpls] Mpls Wi-Fi Hotspots
I don't know of any "WiFi hotspots" around Minneapolis, but I would advise anyone considering using wireless networking to think long and hard about what they are doing. Wireless networks pose severe security risks to your computer, and wireless hacking is the most popular form of hacking crime right now. Home, office, or cafe, wireless networks are rarely secured, frequently targeted, and easily hacked. My $0.02 Bob Alberti, President Sanction, Inc.
