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!
