How to set up a spoof wireless Access Points - if you use wifi you need to know this

Perhaps one for the techies here but a message for all of us.

The video here shows how to set up spoof wireless networks. Basically it means that if you connect to this network (whilst looking for a wireless connection) you may well have all your data stolen, login and passwords compromised and malware delivered to your computer.

All the software being used is available off-the-shelf but requires some technical knowledge to use.

Lesson - do not connect to a wireless network just because it is available! (are all your staff aware of this?)

NB - we provide this link for awareness and education, stealing peoples information is illegal!
