WEP Is Dead, Long Live WPA!

April 11, 2007

Sorry for the alphabet soup but what you need to know is if you’re using the older WEP encryption for your wireless network connection, it’s just about as bad as not using encryption at all. As this article explains, a network “protected” by WEP can be cracked in as little as one minute.

OfficeMedic recommends that you immediately switch to WPA encryption which, when used with a sufficiently strong password, is not vulnerable to hackers. You may need a new wireless router or access point to enable WPA; OfficeMedic can recommend an appropriate unit and we provide installation as well.
