You might be saying to yourself, "You're right, Wireless networks are
invisible, but I'm not worried about any of this because I have
encryption on my wireless network."


I congratulate you on securing your network, in fact I recommend that everyone use encryption on their wireless network.

The problem is that first of all, almost 40% of U.S. households leave
their Wireless Network completely open. And secondly, of the ones that
do encrypt their network, another almost 40% are still using WEP which
has been considered insecure for many, many years. And even though WEP
will be phased out of Wireless Devices in the next few years that leaves
a long, long time for Wireless Networks to be compromised by even the
most novice hackers.

Finally, for those of you who have setup WPA2 which is considered almost impossible to break, I only have one question.
How sure are you that WPA2 will remain unbroken forever?

And as a followup question, even if someone doesn't get in through
the wireless, might there still be a way for your physical network to be
compromised?
