[Vision2020] Florida man charged with stealing Wi-Fi signal

[Scott Dredge]

And for those of you who have a wireless network,
configure your network with MAC address authorization
and with 128-bit WEP.  Even better, if possible, use
WAP.  Serious hackers can get through these, but it's
unlikely that someone driving by looking for access
points will go to the trouble of cracking a WEP/MAC
protected network.
