Of the 181 Wireless Access Points picked up by netstumbler, 67 had no encryption and were unsecure, with 28 of the access points having thier default name as the SSID, which also means that they most likely havnt changed the access passwords for the modem, either.
Shows how much people dont know about simple wireless security, ay?
