Re: Don't fuel the paranoia It's still a very valid security concern. It's not only individuals but entire institutions that often use outdated encryption standards for their WiFi networks. For example, the Dept. of Education here in NYC uses WEP keys for the WiFi in almost every public school in the city. Yep, no WPA. Throw in high school students walking around the place with laptops running Kismet/Aircrack, and you have a security nightmare. And I didn't even get into how entire username/password hashes aren't even shadowed properly on the school SSH server......
