Risk: Informational
A BBC investigation has revealed that the UK's top three WiFi providers are all susceptible to attack by hackers.
The report by Watchdog revealed that BT Openzone, The Cloud and T-Mobile are all susceptible to attack by hackers, leaving tens of thousands of users at risk of fraud.
Using equipment readily available on the Internet to hijack wireless traffic at a variety of hotspots, the Watchdog team were able to access the email accounts of two members of the Watchdog audience viewing everything the users were doing online, including their email and social networking activities.
