- No need.
— So that no one can figure out where exactly he goes on the Internet. He uses a map of the city's Wi-Fi coverage and finds out the location of access points.
- But where will he get the passwords?
— Now this is the most interesting part. There is a popular hotspot search app. It allows you to find Wi-Fi hotspots located near you and gives users the ability to upload Wi-Fi passwords to a special database that other users can use. However, this database was not properly protected, and we found it on the Internet. The database contains geolocation coordinates. Therefore, your person will always be able to communicate with you, each time using different hotspots, will receive encrypted communication and the ability to send you encrypted emails.
- Yes-s-s, Gustav. You don't get your salary for nothing. I'll try to persuade our department to offer you a transfer to us with an increase in both position and salary.
Fairy tale? Nope. Popular Android hotspot app WiFi Finder has exposed Wi-Fi passwords for over two million networks.

That morning everything was going as usual. Nothing indonesia whatsapp data trouble. Jim was running to work. He was late. In the morning he had to spend a long time persuading his daughter to eat porridge, and the nanny was late. Jim's wife was in the hospital and he had a very tough time, because now he had to feed the younger one and get the older one ready for school. In principle, nothing terrible, but the main thing is not to be late!
Jim worked as a system administrator in the IT department at a local university. The job wasn't particularly hard, but there were plenty of problems. After all, either students would start proving that they were the smartest, and he would have to clean up the mess, or the staff would forget something again. What irritated him most was the struggle with some teachers who stubbornly forgot to lock their workstations when they left their workplace. And his proposal to do this centrally was constantly met with resistance from management. He repeatedly heard from the dean: "Oh, come on, Jim! We're not a space center! What should we be afraid of?"
And the general state of physical security was such that anyone and everyone could hang around in the university buildings. Not long ago, a homeless person was found in the main building, washing himself in the men's toilet. Alas, the security service did not draw any conclusions.
