munky Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 To which I say... http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=255 the original video is here, where he shows and states that its not the airport, its a third-party wireless card. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix...in_60_seco.html however, it does seem pretty {censored} that this works so easily. apple will surely address it soon.
