More Wireless Stupidity

http://www.airdefense.net/newsandpress/11_15_07.php

"AirDefense discovered more than 2,500 wireless devices such as laptops, hand-helds, and barcode scanners in use by retailers. Surprisingly, 85 percent of the devices could have been compromised or risk stolen data due to data leakage, mis-configured access points, poor naming choices for access points, outdated access point firmware and a 'cookie-cutter' technology approach by large retailers. This type of approach occurs when the same technology is used in all retail locations so vulnerabilities will repeat themselves across the entire store's chain."
