My job requires me to go to different cities and towns all the time. We're talking populations between 20,000 to 60,000, some with universities.
Usually at any given point when I'm stopped to do a task, I search for unsecure wireless networks. It is unbelieveable how many I can find, sometime as many a 6 at a shot, and it's usually worse if it has a college in it. I would say for every secure network, I find 5 that are not. Some of them don't even have their routers password protected, you know, Admin, Admin.
I don't ever do anything malicious when I find one. I just check to see how many I can find.
Why would you not have your wireless secured? I'm amazed and confused.
