Wi-Fi security in Hong Kong: FAIL
The Hong Kong Wireless Technology Industry Association (WTIA) and Professional Information Security Association (PISA) have released the latest results of their annual Wi-Fi war-driving security survey.
The good news: 78% of the 30,000+ Wi-Fi access points detected in Hong Kong are encrypted. The bad news: most of them are still vulnerable to attack.
This year’s war-driving survey – carried out in December 2008 – and funded by local telecoms regulator Ofta – was the most comprehensive yet in terms of geography, covering not just tram routes on Hong Kong Island, but also newly added areas such as Kowloon, New Territories and Victoria Harbor.
