Wireless NetWork Security

We’ve all heard about the Zotob worm shutting many businesses as it swept across the world recently. The Law Tech Guru Jeff Beard reminds us that he posted a primer called “Wireless Networking Best Practices: Version 2.0” some time ago which is still valid. He notes that he mentioned in that primer to disable the Universal Plug ‘n play (UPnP) unless you need it. UPnP was the primary exploit used by Zotob. I think I’ll be adjusting my home wireless router tonight with Jeff’s article in hand.
