Techtree News Staff, Jan 10, 2009 0814 hrs ISTSecure your connection before it's too late
Don't get surprised if you see Mumbai police now patrolling with laptops in their hands.
In a new initiative, police will be sent to different locations in Mumbai to search for unsecured wi-fi connections. All such offenders will be issued notice under section 149 (prevent the commission of a cognizable offense) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
This initiative does not come as a surprise as the recent report by Deloitte had estimated nearly 88% of wireless networks in Mumbai to be open, unprotected; and if protected, still very vulnerable. Terrorists have used these unsecured wi-fi connections to to send terror e-mails in the attacks witnessed in India recently.
