Konstantin Ryabitsev argueson Linux.com that WiFi security is only a part of the problem."Wi-Fi is merely the first link in a long chain of communicationhappening over channels that we should not trust. If I were to guess, theWi-Fi router you're using has probably not received a security update sincethe day it got put together. Worse, it probably came with default or easilyguessable administrative credentials that were never changed. Unless youset up and configured that router yourself and you can remember the lasttime you updated its firmware, you should assume that it is now controlledby someone else and cannot be trusted."
