A guy bought a computer from eBay, which contains sensitive banking information in the harddisk. These information including millions of customer's signatures, credit card details, mobile phone numbers and mothers' maiden names.
So the next time you buy from the EBay, you never know what "bonus" it might come with.
Came across this interesting gadget. It is a portable Wifi / bluetooth jammer. It could be used to protect important working area and avoid leakage of sensitive data by blocking Wifi / bluetooth networks. It comes with a compact handheld design that enable you to easily hide it anywhere such as pocket or briefcase. It cost about USD$47.
This device seems to be a good "defensive" tools against data leakage over wireless network. But it could be a "double-edged sword". Anyone could used it to disrupt a company's wireless network. As it could be hide inside pocket, it became so easy to carried and deployed to any part of the office or building.
Below are some of the features and specifications: - Frequency: 2.4GHz - 2.5GHz - Coverage: 5-10 Meters Radius - Build-in rechargeable backup battery. - Could block all 2.4GHz wifi and bluetooth devices
Updated on 27 May 2009 There have been many feedback asking whether it is possible to build a WIFI jammer using device (such as cordless phone) that transmit using frequency of 2.4GHz. I happens to have a AV transmitter that uses 2.4GHz and decided to do a simple video to see if it can jam a WIFI connection.
