Quote:Regarding the part in bold, I was referring to what you said regarding wireless broadband technology.  I guess I shouldn't have used the term WiFi since it is different.

 

I do agree with most of your point, however MITM attacks still happen more than you might think.  Also, the average user whether it's a business or a residential user does not change the default password on their router and does not use a strong password.  I'm willing to bet that on this very forum more passwords can be defeated using brute force and a decent dictionary.

 

The strange thing is that with 4g LTE the weakness is actually usually seen as the wired portion of the transmission, because that's the only portion that has a chance of being transmitted unencrypted.  

 

You're probably right about the forums passwords though.  So if you notice an abrupt improvement in my post quality, you know I got hacked.
