Hello,
I need a means to convey the vulnerability of a completely unencrypted small business wireless network. My first goal is simply to get the attention of the business owner and induce him to encrypt the network (I’ve learned a bunch of additional simple security improvements from you folks, but I want to start with one simple thing). I expect an email will be dismissed as spam. I am not very technologically sophisticated or agile. I could easily log on to a wide open network and encrypt it, but that would shut it down and I don’t want to have anything like that obnoxious, sledgehammer effect. I’m envisioning something like a having a message come up on the desktop informing them of the vulnerability and giving them a link with encryption instructions and/or a phone number. Any ideas of how to do that or other ideas for how to find the balance between getting the attention of someone that technically naive without terrifying them?
Thanks,
Marc
