CNN.com/Technology: Reporters cause controversy at hacking conference
But in a case of reporters spying on other reporters, three journalists working for the French publication Global Security Magazine were booted Thursday from the hackers’ conference after they were allegedly caught hacking into the private computer network set up for the media.
If you use Wi-Fi I suggest you use the latest technology to secure your connection and take added measures to protect your data. I like wireless, but would never use it for banking or any other time I do not want someone to look at my personal information. If you think you are not at risk do a Goggle search for “war driving” then check out the results.

A hacking convention - oh what fun. To get both, you marry someone skilled and reformed (and yet paranoid enough to know it could still happen).
