UN Advised on Wireless Insecurity

otisaardvark writes "There's an article on the BBC about how the UN is being briefed on the problems of wireless networks. Predictable conclusions - security is mainly compromised through human, not technological factors."

Why the UN?

Ok... that's it now, I'm gonna sit on my roof watchin for those black helicopters, the UN world government ain't gonna get any wireless network of mine, that's if I had one, anyway, nobody is taking my dirt farm off me!

Hrm... where's that foil hat, I hope I don't find another of those inside out cows.

Over and out.

Secure or insecure

My favourite quote from the whole article:

"Wireless technology is going to be deployed across the globe either securely or insecurely" --David Black, Accenture

Now that doesn't seem obvious does it?

Thank God

Thank God, the UN has finally been briefed. I guess we can look forward to some sort of wireless security "task force", perhaps a number of UN Conferences on Wireless Security, and then some resolutions blaming wireless insecurity on the US and Israel.
