I am glad to see that Lowes prosecuted these people. If it wasn't for the fact that they were prosecuted, it may have never made it out into the public eye that Lowes doesn't secure their customers private information.

I can tell you due to this, that I will definately not be shopping at Lowes ever. It's Home Depot for me. ;p

If I were you, I'd let your friends and family know about this, as you don't want them to shop at a store that doesn't care of their customers security do you? It would be a shame to have an incident of fraud happen because some network admin at a HUGE store like Lowes was too lazy to configure WPA, or at the very least WEP.

Only takes five minutes Lowes. Coulda saved you a few customers...
