You make the assumption that hacking an access point is difficult. Here are
some articles that say otherwise and give you step by step to do it.
Thank you for pointing all this out & this is exactly why I advocate
that one use all the security features that are built into a wireless
router or access point. In our neighborhood if I could subscribed to
a local wireless ISP that is several miles away & if I can do that
then anyone that does use that wireless ISP could try to tap into my
wireless network without spending anything extra. Now if I lived
further out in the country where cable & dsl weren't available I
might be tempted to leave my wireless network less secure but knowing
what you've stated to be true I still wouldn't do it. I certainly
would NOT do it if I lived in a metropolitan area such as Boston or
Cambridge, MA. ;-)
