For this week’s discussion, research an article describing a breach where wireless (Wifi) was the entry point for the breach.
What weaknesses in the configuration did the attackers use to enter their target’s system?
What countermeasures would you implement if you wanted to defend against this breach?
Please include the URL for the article, so that others can read the article(s).
I will start off this week’s discussion regarding wireless with an article that describes how a Las Vegas casino was hacked because of a fish tank that was connected to the Internet, and also a hack in which “smart pads” connected to insecure Wifi were used as the entry point.

For this week, find another example that demonstrates how wireless networks were the entry point in a successful breach / attack.
