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.

I've picked up Lowes in a wardriving scan before... The difference is, I don't act on my findings; I scan, detect, and leave. Open wifi at Lowes is nothing new.

These guys did do something wrong by intruding... but I fully agree with everyone else who has said Lowes is in the end accountable for their mistakes. Like most corporations they're afraid to take any responsibility for their blunders.. bad PR for them.
