"WEP as a security measure is so broken that your (and everyone else's) kid sister can easily circumvent it," said computer security researcher Ralf-Philipp Weinmann, co-author of the aircrack-ptw tool that can crack WEP in minutes.
Anyone caring about their privacy, said Mr Weinmann, should not use WEP to stop others using their wi-fi hotspot.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7052223.stmThis is a "see, I told you so" moment from the bird. I knew this would happen eventually. If you're using Wi-Fi and using WEP I suggest switching to WPA-2. Better yet, if you can, ditch the wireless and use hard lines only. I know that's an inconvenience to many, but there's always a trade-off involved between convenience and security.
