Consumers and companies are rushing to adopt wireless computer networks with little thought of the security problems they bring with them, warn experts. The ease with which wireless networks can be set up, and the convenience of replacing cables with radio waves, is making them hugely popular in both homes and offices.
But researchers warn that the security failings of these networks have not been fixed and that few people are doing enough to protect themselves.
They recommend that the makers of wireless network products do more to improve the basic security of their devices and that work be done to educate users of the dangers.
