WPA Security Tips Article
All:
An interesting article I came across this morning and I thought others may be interested:
Wireless networking might not rank up there with flying cars, but it's still plenty cool and very useful. (Plus, it actually exists.) But wireless data can be exposed to interception, and although we have encryption protocols intended to prevent security breaches, they are not always 100% effective.
With access to your wireless network, a hacker could intercept sensitive information, such as e-mail messages or even access-shared files. More commonly, a hacker might not want your personal data, but to abuse your network access. She or he could use your Internet service to engage in criminal activities, such as sharing illegal content or sending spam. - Wi-Fi Planet
