http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6101573.html

Here's a little video about hacking a computer using a wifi connection. Although a MacBook was used, a third party wifi card was used rather than the MacBook's built in wifi.

The important safety features are turn off wifi when not being used and disable various features plus double check your firewire connections.

Since most KR-1 users will leave the KR-1 running and the internet connection on you need to protect yourself from unauthorized users using your wifi connection and also your computer from this type of hack.

Anyone know of any good pages or files on how to properly protect oneself?
