New Wi-Fi Law in California

California legislators have passed a law which will force makers of wireless internet equipment to include guidance on keeping data secure on wireless connections. The law now awaits signature by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. From 1 October 2007, manufacturers must place warning labels on all equipment capable of receiving Wi-Fi signals, according to the new state law.

I’m impressed that there is a new law I actually agree with wholeheartedly. Though this isn’t important for geeks or anyone else out there reading this, it’s great for those who are not knowledgeable about PC’s or computer security in general. Bring it on!
