Man Charged for Wardriving
In the first case of it's kind, a man has been charged for wardriving a wireless network owned by a small government entity. [pghwireless]
If convicted, this will likely set a dark precedent for wardriving, even in cases such as this where the man was apparently trying to simply alert the owners of the network that there was a security problem. Of course, this sends a clear message to those of us roaming around with a wireless card and a laptop: "Keep your mouth shut and let the stupid bastards find out the hard way when some not-so-benign person comes into the wireless network."
