| 516142 | 2007-01-14 23:31:00 | if i logged into a wireless network that was unsecured,but i enabled TKIP encryption on my wireless network card, no-one will be able to steal my personal data right? Or can they just hack into the unsecured wi-fi router and get it that way? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 516143 | 2007-01-14 23:39:00 | Hi Lance, if you attach to an unsecured network, you data isnt secure for the duration of that session, as the encrytion has to be enabled and set with corresponding passwords at both ends of the connection, your card and the access point!. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 516144 | 2007-01-14 23:48:00 | Its about as safe as leaving your car unlocked on Queen Street on a Friday night. It's not so much "if" but "when" it will be stolen. tick...tick...tick.... | winmacguy (3367) | ||
