[Sheflug] BT Security Alert

Hello there

We all know how trivial it is to crack WEP keys that are used for
wireless connections at home ?  Most of us are.  Yes, it is
illegal to break into someone else's network and you can be
arrested.  About a year or two after this became common knowledge we
now see this in the Sunday press...

It's no news to myself.  My own attempts at getting BT to understand
anything have always failed.  As for explaining security issues to
them I gave up years ago.
