Sometimes I use an Ipaq with TomTom for Sat Nav. The Ipaq has built in wireless networking and it is rarely switched off. Over the passed few years I have noticed that a lot more wireless networks pop up on the screen when I drive anywhere. Last week I logged a count of all the access points it found. There were 65 access points in a small area. I wondered how many of these were actually secure and how many people had taken steps to protect themselves and their data. How many people actually knew how to switch on that extra level protection. If your network is open or you haven't taken the extra security steps then you could potentially be inviting problems. |
| The best kept secret in the computer industry | | 10:07am Wednesday 30th April 2008 | | For a while now when people find out I'm in IT they invariably ask my opinion or advice. Recently I've been telling people to try this thing called Linux. It's an operating system similar to Windows or Mac OS and it is good. Very good. |
