I had one of those governmental social researchers come around to ask questions about my opinions on crime in the area, how well I perceive it as being tackled, etc etc. I was also asked a series of questions on whether I use computers, if I purchase items online, and if I’m worried about fraud and unsure about the techniques I could use to reduce the risk. Hmm.. I told her what I do for a living.

At the end of her research questions, she put away her laptop and got out her notepad and pen. “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about computer security?� Apparently she had just signed up to broadband and had a wireless router sent to her by her ISP. Only the other day, she had heard something about wireless networks not being so secure, could I tell her more?
