New law requires some businesses to secure their WiFi networks

Ars Technica -
One New York county has solved the “problem” of unauthorized access to unsecured wireless networks by passing a new law. Businesses operating in Westchester County will soon need to turn on security settings for their WiFi networks if they are used to access financial information for their customers.

As an avid Wardriver I think this is a great idea, laws like these should be put in place all over the country. The innocent hobby of Wardriving has been given such a bad reputation over the last few years and I think by having laws like this would clear up the difference between Wardrivers and wireless deviants.
