[Video] SWAT team raids the wrong house because of open WIFI network

I wanted to send a quick note to those folks who think having an open wifi network is not big deal.

In this case, it nearly cost a family their life and freedom.
Someone logged into their wifi system and then put threatening statements about the police department online.

The police took the threats very seriously and raided the house – the WRONG house.

The lesson here is obvious.  Put rock solid passwords on ALL your devices, and be very very careful about who you give the password to.  Check out chapters 2 and 3 for more information on this stuff.

Are your networks and devices secure?

Keeping you safe,
Chris Peterson, Privacy Advocate
