Virus could hit WLANs
Criminals could hit thousands of Wi-Fi networks through unsecured routers according to researchers at Indiana University.
The researchers estimate that a Wi-Fi attack could take over 20,000 wireless routers in New York City within a two-week period, with most of the infections occurring within the first day. "The issue is that most of these routers are installed out of the box very insecurely," said Steven Myers, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who published the paper in November, along with researchers from the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin, Italy. http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=11030
