Qld Police go war-driving for insecure Wi-Fi
news As part of the National Consumer Fraud Week currently underway, the Queensland Police Service is launching a new project aimed at encouraging the public to check their wireless internet connection and ensure it is secure, which entails it driving around the state and detecting unsecured wireless networks.
The so-called ‘War Driving Project’ has been rolled out by the Queensland police under the aegis of the State Crime Operations Command’s Fraud and Corporate Crime Group. As part of this drive, police are planning to conduct patrols of residential and commercial areas to identify unprotected internet connections. This would be followed by a letter dropped into letterboxes in the area which would contain information on how to effectively secure Internet connections. Detective Superintendent Brian Hay, however, urged the public to proactively check their Internet connections at the earliest instead of waiting for the police drive to begin.
