Computers connecting to weakly secured Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth-enable phones with unchanged passkeys, and even the microchip inside your passport or ID badge are all putting your personal data at risk.
At yesterday’s Last HOPE hacker conference, hacker “RenderMan” gave a presentation titled “How do I Pwn Thee? Let me Count the Says” which discussed how vulnerable we all truly are.
I recommend reading cnet.com’s report about the presentation. (Also, I see no reason to rewrite and repost something that is already posted. That's what whe have links for!) Maybe you’ll learn something about protecting your data. If it doesn’t make sense to you, then you should track down your neighborhood computer geek and have them explain it to you
