I've Dealt With Some Hilarious Tech Support Issues......but nothing quite like this: Posted by Jake on 02/25/10 @ 10:50 PM

I love Leo and TWiT TV, watch/chat every weekend. I bet many people do what she does, but aren't, uh, clueless enough to call in and complain about it. I can only imagine what you would have told/called her, Jake - NSFW indeed;-) ned said on 02/26/10 @ 08:32 AM: Dumb question, but hey, I'm dumb: He kind of made it sound like once you've accessed the internet via an unsecured wireless connection, your passwords have "floated through the air" and could be swiped at any time ... even after you've gone to a secure connection. Is that true? If I moved, accessed the internet through a neighbors wireless for, say, two months, and then finally stopped being lazy and got my own, and now it's a year later, am I still in danger because of those two months a year ago? Jake said on 02/26/10 @ 10:02 AM: @Barney: If I were a radio host, I'd be nice about it. But yes, what I'd be thinking might not be safe for work. @ned: They can be swiped only when you're actively using the connection. They don't just hang out in the air, waiting for somebody to grab it. Once you've gone secure, on your own connection, you're fine. If you're using your neighbor's connection, even if it is secure, your neighbor obviously knows that connection password and could, in theory, use that password as a key to decrypt your traffic. Are they likely to do that? Probably not, as it's a bit of a pain to do so for folks who don't know what they're doing. Post a comment |
