  Wi-Fi arrest highlights security dangers
Time: 02:38 EST/07:38 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Toronto police said they stopped a car last week for a traffic infraction when they found the driver naked from the waist down with a laptop computer on the front seat, playing a pornographic video that had apparently been streamed over a residential wireless hot spot. The driver was charged with possession, distribution and creation of child pornography, as well as theft of telecommunications--a first in Canada, according to local authorities.

Prosecutors have not sought to charge the owner of the Wi-Fi connection used to download the images. Still, the Nov. 19 incident offers a dramatic illustration of the dangers of running an insecure Wi-Fi hub from a home or office.
