Five mile wi-fi unit prompts security fears
A five mile wi-fi detector has got a security firm's knickers in a twist about the lack of security in firms' systems. The device, made by this company, is a line of sight unit but it has plans to make more powerful devices.
Some IT security reseller named Global Secure Systems has been wibbling around saying that evil hackers can gain access to company wifi by simply taking an empty (and hopefully clean) Pringles box and amplify any 802.11g or 802.11n signal hovering around. Oh, they do have to put something in the Pringles box to amplify the signal, of course.
