Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.
Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and attempt
to acquire the data you are sending.
Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are
using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as
impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized
information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your
network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly secure your network.
