Today I ran into the wife of a fellow I haven’t seen for decades, like me he is a computer guy and is currently employed as same.
As we talked I found we have a lot in common, same amount of kids, both with a son newly in college all pretty much the same.
I forget how but the conversation came up but somehow the conversation came to wireless security and I almost fell out of my chair.
He keeps a wide open wireless network with no security at all
. He operates under the theory that if someone wants to break in they will.
This man is a computer professional, he has been doing this work for over two decades. He also does plenty of financial stuff online.
If I wasn’t so bald already I’d be tearing out my hair. He should know better, how can he NOT know better and even worse as a computer expert how many other people has he said this too.
Sometime I wonder why I even bother, so let me say it one more time.
USE PROPER WIRELESS SECURITY WHEN SETTING UP A HOME NETWORK!
If you don’t then the resulting problems you will have will be your own.
Watch and learn!

I recently set up a wireless router in an apartment complex for a friend. Wireless routers everywhere and no security enabled at all. Not even WEP.
It just frustrates me to no end, but it’s really human nature, people have to be reminded over and over of basic things.
