Japan secures Wi-Fi the old fashioned way
 
The Japan Meteorological Agency and the Tokyo metropolitan government have stopped using wireless in government offices after recently discovering that Wi-Fi is not as secure as old fashioned cable . Over the weekend all of the wireless lan kit was unplugged and replaced with cable. Well this is one way to make Wi-Fi more secure - stop using it.

Unfortunately the original article appears to no longer be available. It was originally at http://www.asahi.com/english/national/K2002122600287.html and was linked to before we started caching linked pages, so unfortunately we don't have a copy.
