What are some potential risks associated with unsecured wireless LANs?

• A malicious third-party may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
• A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following types of behavior.
  • Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
  • Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing)
  • Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
  • Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)

How can I reduce the possibility of security problems with wireless LANs? Since most wireless LAN adapters or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device.
