  Why Hackers Don't Care About Wi-Fi
Time: 21:44 EST/02:44 GMT | News Source: NewsFactor | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Call them traditionalists, but breaching wireless networks apparently does not hold the same allure for hackers as wreaking havoc on closed systems via the wired Internet -- at least not so far.

Despite efforts to ferret out truly insidious hacking on Wi-Fi systems, security experts generally have turned up little evidence of nefarious activity. For instance, one honeypot set up by a government contractor in the Washington, D.C., area earlier this year failed to attract much attention in its first few weeks.

One possible explanation is that hacking Wi-Fi is too easy. And with constant warnings about how porous these networks can be, users have been cautious about transmitting sensitive data over them, so there is not much to steal.
