State: Wi-Fi cloaks a new breed of intruder

State: Wi-Fi cloaks a new breed of intruder

Setting up the wireless internet here in Nishiarita was a pain in the beginning, because the router stuff was all in Japanese. So, I didn't even bother trying to set up the WEP or any other form of protection. I also figured, "well, I doubt there's anybody out here who would bother borrowing my internet access."

Once I get back to the states though, I'll have to learn how to be more protective of my internet access (that, or learn how to be the hacker and just use other people's access points!) There's a joke that, nope Philadelphia isn't going to be the first major city to be wireless; New York is already wireless with all the unsecure access points set up by unsuspecting neighbors.

Anyhoo, I made this post using the "blogger" button on the google toolbar. Quite fast and efficient, but alas no pictures.
