This is why you don't to this sort of hosting in nations that have stringent internet crime laws. Go to New Zealand ( I think ) or one of those newly formed Euro countries who don't seem to care that much. This is how the good torrent sites that I use (no I will not list them) stay afloat, thank God for that!!!
VIVA LA TORRENTS!!
This reminds me of when I first saw Hackers back in High school. It would have been nice to have all those graphical interfaced hacking techniques back in the day...
People read about these packet sniffers that can generate people's CC info, PWs, and other personal data. They don't realize how uneasy these are to use, it isn't like this thing just shoots out CC # within seconds of hitting a public hotspot. Not explaining or taking in to consideration how long and how much data is required to crack a WEP PW on a wireless router; usually you need at lease a gig of uploaded data. Do you know how long it takes for your 50 yr old next door neighbored to generate a gig of uploaded data?!
Do a cost benefit analysis and take in to account the time, electricity, and mental sanity it would take in order to get that PW.
All in all CNET is just scaring people to go out and buy a new more "hacker" stringent wireless router. Marketing, marketing, marketing... =P
Now the key loggers setup on public terminals is just plain bit#h, its like a mouse trap waiting to spring.
New racial profiling for street cops combating cyber crimes: (This can be applicable to airport terminals)
"Male, dressed in jeans and a tee shirt. Usually surrounded by 3-6 empty latte cups using a portable computer in a public place for a long period of time without any social interaction.
Common verbal phrases and or mumbles:
- "I just Pwned your CC info"
- "Ignorant newb"
