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

Screw them all. They should've hired some qualified IT tech with better administrators. Those idiots who hacked in shouldn't have messed with it either but who won't play around with an open network. It is like leave your car in the middle of the street with the key in the ignition switch. I am damn sure someone will come and drive it away. How pathetic, but that is good they caught them and now Lowe's might look for better security.

For the poster who wants to buy from Home Depot not lowe's. What you get in Lowes isn't in Home Depot sometimes. Use cash than plastic.

Ciao..
