Experts Say China's Wireless Networks Can Be Easily Hacked
Chinese internet technology (IT) experts expressed fears about the security of local wireless networks after they were able to hack into them with ease during a symposium held in the Chinese capital of Beijing on Monday.
The "hackers" used tools downloaded from the internet to gain access to the network by securing passwords in barely five minutes. They said they did not encounter much trouble stealing secret data from users, accessing e-mails, deleting private documents and spreading viruses through the network.
Wen Zhonghui, director of information security at the national technology research center said, "Most of the tools can be downloaded easily from the internet which means that the current wireless local area networks are insecure."
