Hotel Hacks

There's an interesting, if unsurprising, article up on darkreading about the security of hotel networks.  I think we've all been to a hotel or two before that had, say, SNMP community strings that were easily guessable.  In general, it seems that "Broadband" Inernet access at hotels has morphed from being an ammenity to simply being a given.  However, it does not appear that most hotels take any real steps to manage that resource, or the people using it.

So, first, it seems from the study that hotels should look to technologies like Network Access Control to protect themsevles.  Second, we should all be mindful of just how open these networks are when our users come back from them.
