which someone could crack in. Using an unsecure wireless standard such as WEP or TKIP is wreckless and unsafe. It is a fair bet that the bulk of users that use PSK's use the same password to log on to their computer, into their router, for bank accounts and e-mails. So if I am able to fish out the password for a router using these techniques, I could potentially empty their bank accounts, and send hate mail to the President or Members of Congress in their name, and let them take the rap, and "Gone in 60 Seconds."
In this case their best option is to move to WPA2 with AES encryption, or run their Access point wide open.
