It's time to start asking Lowe's for an explanation of why they were using an unsecured wireless network. If it's unsecured because it needed to work with telephones and scanners, then it should have been firewalled from customer data and other stores.
If you are getting angry at corporate irresponsibility such as this, then it's time to write a letter to Lowe's asking them for an explanation and their corrective actions. It's time to demand companies quit treating customer information like Pokemon cards.
