I felt like I'd stepped back in time at least 7 or 8 years. :rolleyes:

They started off with the usual; Clueless soccer mom accessing her investments in a coffee shop, being ambushed by the camera crew, reporter and 'hacker'. (The hacker was someone from Intense School ) Then a quick segment about a young lady who "almost lost everything" when she used an unsecured network checking her bank balance "when a crook stole her information and tried to wipe her account clean." Then it was off to go wardriving, which is a "new strategy" for hackers. Actually, it was WARDRIVING on the screen. Another clueless user, another ambush. This time a Gen Y 'youth pastor' who "thought he was safe at home."

So the Today Show's tips for security?
  • Use an encrypted network
  • "..look for the 's' in 'https'..." (Which they said was a "power user move" :eek: Their 'expert' really did say that. )
