[dundee] Unfair fine over unsecured wifi

[Sean McRobbie]

You mean the serial / key is hashed in the SSID? :D

They apparently fixed this for new customers a while back but they have left quite a lot of old installs vulnerable, I can see two or three of them from here.

Its better than BTs policy talk up security in the product marketing
then ship with 64 bit WEP which happens to be the serial number of the
router. Even if WEP weren't so ridiculous. The serial numbe is fairly
easy to get.
