With the easy availability of various Wifoo tools, already made somewhat infamous by a blogger on this site, it is hardly surprising that there is a great number of WiFi loaders in the wild.
Perhaps, just with a little thought and input from vendors and standards bodies alike, there is an opportunity to make WiFi properly safe, albeit implementations need to be made more robust and significantly easier for the mop's.
There will always be a way for ingenious and innovative people to hack wifi, there just isn't the necessary investment in secure wifi to make it a viable alternative to grown up communications. And all these Open Source routers are just nonsense. I've even noticed a rogue AP in my area.
Whatever. Who cares. It's mostly innocuous.
