Wi-Fi Identity Theft

TAGS: None

So they finally indicted the identity theives who stole 41 million credit cards from a number of retailers in the U.S. You can read the Washington Post article if this doesn’t ring a bell.

I think there should be a seperate prosecution for the people who created a wireless cash register system that was so utterly insecure as to defy imagination. Someone didn’t do even a slashdot style due diligence to see if the system would be reasonably secure. I would like to see the exec in court for incompetence.
