Grrrr .. I started reading it, then got the horrible double underlining ads, which I understand were from Intellitext, now from Vibrant Media .. not that the name change makes any difference, still really annoying.
I'll have to copy and paste it into Notepad.

Re: Wifi no longer secure

Hmm, sorry but this looks more like a classic piece of unverified snake oil being thrown out to scare the nervous. Especially as it originates from a company with a vested interest in selling brute force password cracking s/w. Read the comments from 'Hans' and others on the news 'source' :-
