Wardriver pleads guilty in Lowe's WiFi hacks
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-06-04

In a rare wireless hacking conviction, a Michigan man entered a guilty plea Friday in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina for his role in a scheme to steal credit card numbers from the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores by taking advantage of an unsecured wi-fi network at a store in suburban Detroit.

Not that I don't like Lowes or have any affil. with HD...

Just that I am disgusted with Corporate America attempting to do as they please and piss on their customers.

This was a very poor example of, should I even dare to say, "security".

In all honesty, I believe that Lowes should be who is fined and someone there should be going to jail. And those kids that attempted what they did, should be warned, let go and commended for letting the rest of the world know exactly what Lowes isn't doing.

But that's just my opinion, and we all know about those... Opinions are like a******s... Everyone's got one, but it's just the other guys that stinks...
