squidinkcalligraphy writes "While everyone is going on about wireless network security, it seems few have considered that increasingly common wireless keyboards are vulnerable to eavesdropping. Particularly when the encryption is pitifully weak. A simple radio receiver, sound card, and a brute-force attack on the 8-bit encryption used is all that's needed. Passwords galore! Bluetooth, it seems, is safe for the moment."
