| 1108581 | 2010-06-09 21:55:00 | I think it was "accidental" - But I recall an article with similar issues a few weeks back in Germany or France, where Sergey Brin admitted "they screwed up" in a press conference. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1108582 | 2010-06-09 21:55:00 | The privacy scandal has sparked fears that Google may have intercepted personal banking details and could link people's internet behaviour to home addresses.Methinks that whoever has those fears doesn't really understand how encryption works, nor how MAC addresses are used. | Erayd (23) | ||

| 1108585 | 2010-06-10 01:15:00 | people need to take responsibility for their tech. I know many who run open Wifi, i have been telling them for years to go WPA. they dont care. then this google story kicks off, and now they are all full of rage at google. end users need to get a clue. |

True, but thankfully the banks don't leave it to the "end-user" and the traffic between you and your bank, regardless of it being communicated wirelessly at your home or not, is encrypted with (128-bit for ASB Bank) SSL encryption. |

| 1108588 | 2010-06-10 01:43:00 | I guess it might be easy to say from a computer person . Many people are not in tuned with computers other than using it . We know about security settings, backups, reinstallations, activation, the avg person would have little idea . They go to a toaster shop and pick up a computer that they can afford and its able to do their MS Office and email and surf the web . Virtually all wireless gears are shipped read out of the box, it's marketing . Plug and play for any novice . Within a few minutes you can surf the web wirelessly . It's like saying every car owner should know how to change the oil, change a tyre, jump start it and change a blown bulb . . . . |
