Wi-Fi arrest highlights security dangers | |

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. | ||

#2 "The internet needs to go far beyond the typical "good enough" measuring stick that so many OSS projects go by."
Sorry you have OSS and Microsoft confused - it's Microsoft that makes sure that the majority of their applications is just "good enough". Which is why once they make something that's "good enough" and include it in Windows so they get the majority of the market share they stop working on it, case in point: IE. See it's easy to make cheap shots either way! "No, this illustrates the stupidity of keeping the internet an open, trust based source of communications" Thank god (if you believe in one) that we have Microsoft to change the stupidity of keeping the internet open... everything should be DRM'ed then we won't have pedophiles playing with themselves whilst watching child porn. |

kabuki - Open, trust based source of communications is the problem with the SMTP protocol and why we have so much spam today.
