I tell ya, it gets more and more difficult to protect yourself huh?  |
You can stop even these guys just turn off your SSID broadcast you can still use it yourself and use MAC address filtering on your router so only MAC addresses that you allow can access your network and WPA2 security and don't use the default username and password that comes with your router. These can be defeated but the hackers are not going to want to be sitting in front of peoples houses for that long. I also don't have a lot of time for Today Tonight there is too much sensationalism and down right incorrect information to take them seriously yes there is a problem but they make it seem worse than it really is they are the tabloid of the TV industry you know the world is ending in 2012 type
