Outlawing open Wifi in Mumbai
The Times Of India writes about the Mumbai police looking out for unsecured Wifi connections:
City policemen will be soon seen roaming in the streets with laptops
in their hands in search of unsecured Wi-Fi connections, in the backdrop of terror mails sent before blasts and terror attacks.
Owners will get notices from the police when their access point is “not password protected or secured”. How do they define “secured”? Will the owner get a notice when he uses WEP over WPA? Will they check for default and weak passwords?
So, because they send emails over open Wifi access points before the attacks, something they could have done with a wireless (broadband) modem or mobile phone, all Wifi needs to be closed up?
