      They posted the SSID and password to their wireless network. Only useful if you're in range and chances are their network is secure from intrusion so anyone trying to get in would be blocked.

      Still - not too bright like that guy who posted his social security # on national TV and dared people to try to steal his identity.

        Only if they also used MAC filtering and/or additional authentication. Which they may very well do, but depending on the method used...

          Actually, read those SSID names. They're meant to be used by people in range. The network is fine.

          When you know that the tools they're using to secure the backend make those SSIDs not matter, this is barely even mildly amusing.

            Always secure your backend against unwanted intrusions...

                Plus his identity was stolen.

                  The wiki also says the company co-founder stole his own father's identity. Irony much?
