You always hear the security gloom and doom about the problems with having wireless for your users.
Has anyone been hacked and you traced it back to the wireless?
How bad was the hack?
Was your wireless secured or wide open?
First hand experiences only please.

Our wireless requires authentication with ID ans password.
An authorized user will log in and attach his own wirless router. This new 'rouge' router will then allow access by unauthorized users.

How did you catch it?
Do you do sweeps for rouges or did someone just spot it as another access point available?
Do you think they were just scamming internet access or were they hacking around your systems?

...turned it it was almost always doctors trying to get WiFi for their waiting areas. Became pervasive to the point that Public WiFi got rolled out to every site.
We used IDS to find the rogue units almost as soon as they hit the network, so it wasn't usually a big deal.
Except once....
There was an 'insider' that was trying to assist someone else (I wasn't directly involved, so I only got the high level details on this) in trying to gain access to our ERP system via WiFi.
They made like Arnie, and terminated her on the spot!

When I first set up my home network, I hacked into it to help tweak it and setup my firewall.
Beyond that..no I haven't been hacked through wireless...yet.
