Re: Fine unsecured APs

said by fAcEtIOUs:

I like France's idea. Users with unsecured APs SHOULD be fined. Until individuals, and their ISPs, make sure computers are secure, they should be kicked off the internet. It will be the only way to minimize malware on the internet.
Hahaha..that's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever herd. What is a fine going to do? Grandma and Grandpa are still not going to know how to secure their wirless.

Also, how would you plan on tracking down these "Unsecured" wireless APs? From personal experience, any unconfigured AP from a retail store usually has their wireless name set as Linksys, Dlink, etc.. Do you really think the government is going to send around people to knock door by door to confirm that the unsecured wireless access point that they are going to be fining for belongs to the house? No.

Then they can hire someone to do it.
