10 Episodes of Security Now, imagine that. Bringing comprehensive security information to the general public in language they can understand, Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte continue to trend this week by discussing wireless access points. This week they pick up where they left off last week by giving us listeners the lowdown on Rootkit Revealer, the application they discussed last week, by pointing out that sometimes you’ll find false positives with the application. Aside from that, this week the duo discuss the still ever-present open and unsecured wireless access points and the risks involved in operating a wireless access point that’s wide open to the rest of the world and why you should lock yours down, not to mention how. They also discuss using VPN when using wireless access points and how important it is to encrypt your data while you’re using someone else’s access point, or even your own. Enjoy!
