Did Google grab your wireless password?

Today Google have confirmed that they collected private information, including passwords, from WIFI networks across the UK. I guess this includes Milton Keynes and Bletchley, home of the code breakers. This has highlighted the issue of security on WIFI networks that don't have encryption. Many others only have minimal encryption that can be easily cracked.

If you're not sure how secure your WIFI network is, ask a wireless expert to test it and give you some advice.

The state of IT Support in Milton Keynes

There are several small companies providing IT Support in Milton Keynes and the user should take care to ensure the provider has the engineering expertise in house to cover all of their requirements. Also, make sure that the hours of support cover the times your office operates. In particular, the start time of support in the morning when problems can occur at boot up.

Providers have different methods of charging for phone support, on-line support and on-site support. Some or all of these can be covered by a fixed annual fee.
