Last month some bomb blasts happened in a city in India (Ahmedabad). A lot of people died in the blats. Minutes before the blast an email was sent by islamic terrorists to some media outlets to stake the claim for the blasts. The email was traced to an American expat living in Bombay, who was using a wifi router in his rented flat. Apparently his wifi connection was somehow used by terrorists to send the email without his knowledge. The cops took his computer and related stuff for investigations and sealed his flat as well.

Credit card theft is a very small crime compared with what these terrorists and such people do. When I learned about that incident, I just removed the wifi router from my office and have locked it in a cupboard. Now we use only wired connections in the office.

Goodbye wifi, for now.
