Huge Legal Risk from Wi-Fi
Filed in archive Wi-Fi by jeff goldman on February 15, 2006


From Legalbrief -- British law firm Charles Russell has warned companies they could face huge legal costs if they fail to protect their staff and their business against the threats which lie in wait for users of public wi-fi networks.

Legalbrief links to a Silicon.com article, which attributes the following scary scenario to the apparently potent imagination of Charles Russell partner Robin Bynoe: "The country's Hotels and waiting rooms are full of people rummaging through the contents of each others' laptops."

The result, Bynoe says, is "potentially enormous liability."

Really? No one's saying security isn't important, but "hotels and waiting rooms are full of people rummaging through the contents of each others' laptops?" Isn't that just a lil' bit of scaremongering?
