I agree. I have seen for years these network engineer wanna-bes that take things on themselves and try to score brownie points by doing doing like implementing a wireless network. Any idiot can do it and they do. They want to impress their managers. The mere fact that Lowes discovered this so quickly and alerted the FBI is a HUGE plus. Under 10 credit card numbers stolen? That's it??? GREAT JOB Lowes! Most comapnies would find out 100,000s or even millions were exposed and the FBI came to them. I don't know the facts, but I truely don't believe it was Lowes Corporate that installed a wireless network unencrypted.
