Wired News on Hotel Hacking

July 30th, 2005

Adam Laurie, chief security officer of the London security and networking firm ALD shows Wired News how using Linux he was able to expose billing systems, read other guest’s e-mail, and open the minibar at hotels around the world before he spoke about the vulnerability Saturday at the DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas.

I find this sort of stuff very interesting.

    Interesting. More wary then ever to stay at a hotel.

    I work as the IT guy for a hotel chain, yeah it’s VERY disturbing.
    Now I get to figure out how to block access to that stuff.
