This week a number of computer security experts have been warning about the growing popularity of wi-fi Internet connections and the fact it could be providing more opportunities for hackers. A spate of hacking incidents were reported to police in the central Queensland city of Rockhampton recently and one security firm is concerned that wi-fi users risk identity theft without robust security in place.
With Wi-fi networking there is a risk of an attacker using a WI-FI Internet service for free and potentially hiding their identity when they perform illegal activity using the network connection and possibly seeing a companies confidential information.
A company is also responsible for any action that is committed on their network connection so providing proper security is also the companies duty of care for its customers and other users of the internet.
