A security researcher claims to have found a significant weakness in the wireless encryption of a DSL home gateway made by Thomson. The weakness could enable someone to connect to a victim’s Wi-Fi router for malicious purposes. Users can take two steps to avoid this kind of attack: Change the default encryption key and opt to use the WPA standard. The attack worked on three different BT Home Hubs, the researchers say. BT did not have an immediate comment. The researchers are not publishing the software tools used in the attack.”]
