A survey report published by Panda Software reveals a really alarming trend that threatens to jeopardize privacy and business. It says that about sixty per cent of Wi-Fi networks have ‘no security system at all’.

The statistics were collected through wardriving (which is a practice of detecing wireless networks while driving a specific route) surveys were performed internationally and the results published in a report called ‘Security in Wireless Networks’.

The report also found that those Wi-Fi networks that had some kind of security set up widely used security protocol was WEP, again a suspect protocol with many vulnerabilities.

The report says that stronger protocols like WPA and WPA-PSK, are ‘hardly used at all’.

Anyway, the PandaLab’s published report also includes recommendations for protecting Wi-Fi networks.
