(Philadelphia & Conshohocken, PA)
The report by the Government Accountability Office found that few government agencies can ensure that their wireless networks are protected from unauthorized access.
GAO investigators were able to pick up Wi-Fi signals from outside all of the six agencies they tested, and they were able to find examples of unauthorized activity at all six as well.
At one agency, 90 laptop computers were configured to search for a wireless connection while they were plugged in to a wireless network -- an easy way in for snoops and hackers.
