Hahaha wasn't pr0n ?
Well nine year is a a bit too far compared to the shadowcrew (asd
mentionned in the article) and others we don't hear about too often.
And if they were a little brighter they could have used better
antennas and stayed clear off the parkings .Well it provews once again
that big corporate means big on security ,err lack of security .
Well all in all that makes me even feel more secure that i live in a
retarded country that doesn't know how to use wifi or what 802.11 is ,
(well it's prety much the only advantage :) ).
