Open networks

Taking the slow train home and writing the previous blog I idly brought up the wireless LAN browser to see what I saw as the train travelled across. I noticed two things -

First, there are an amazing amount of BT Home Hubs out there
Second, Belkin54g users seem the worst at setting any wireless security or changing the SSID

I must have seen at least 20 unsecure networks as I idly refreshed on the journey home. I wonder how many of those also had the default admin password for that router...

Please please please if you use a Wireless LAN - change the default admin password and turn on security to stop people hopping onto your network!
