Also, Lowe's security needs to be scrutinized. After all, they are just inviting attacks if they don't use encryption and yet transferring transactions datas wirelessly.
Hopefully, this will opens the eyes of many other stores with stupid wireless implementations.
You can't imagine the amount of people out there still have their default passwords set on the APs. They all need to be re-educated, otherwise they'll just damage themselves (which I could careless for) and those they do business with. So hopefully, this will teach Lowe's a lesson.
