[snip] The first segment of a new wireless network for banking data is being built in Louisiana, and the Louisiana state police is on board for its own benefit. The company, ERF Wireless out of League City, Texas, says sending data through the air will be faster than land lines, even safer from hackers, and not prone to storm damage like high-wires or buried lines. "It's bandwidth, lots of bandwidth, and it's more secure than a regular phone line," said John Burns, CEO of ERF Enterprise Network Services. "It's actually quite a bit faster. Much more control, faster speed, faster response, and it's a private communications network the bank creates for itself, whereas with phone lines you're sharing with everyone."

Hi, Well don't really know where to start, i don't contribute much but i was hoping this was a joke. As a telco eng i can give you an estimate on the price required by someone to intercept microwaves, i would say about 2000$. As for the "Microwave" to resist hurricanes and other "natural disaster" well someone need a slap in the face and the engineer that is hired should not only be hanged by his balls^H^H^H^H^H toes but he should _not_ be allowed to get near any electronics. It is not protected against jamming for instance(granted you will need some serious power). My money is on a disgruntle employee seeking revenge. Kind regards,Nervox. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
