Spammers Target Wi-Fi security
Spammers are preparing to use weaknesses in corporate wireless local area networks (Lans) to send out floods of unsolicited email, a security company chief has claimed.
CipherTrust said that, as security on fixed line internet connections tightens, spammers could gear up to exploit vulnerabilities in wireless Lan security.
Steve Raber, CipherTrust's chief executive, warned that spammers could send someone out with a laptop PC looking for vulnerable networks and then hijack a company's mail servers to send junk email. [NewsFactor Cybercrime & Security]
