While the basic information of this article is sound, the author needs to get more up to speed on technical security standards.

Anyone who installs or runs a Wireless Computer Network and is still using WEP security is simply begging for someone to illegally access their network and steal whatever information they have on their computers. Exploits to break WEP encryption keys have been around for years, and is consider so insecure that the PCI Data Standards (the standards used to determine handling of credit card processing) have forbidden its use now.

If you are using a wireless network and you are handling/processing credit cards or other sensitive customer information, do yourself the favor of hiring a professional to come in and review your network security. A few hundred dollars now to make sure you are secure will saving you thousands of dollars later on, if not more, because some enterprising hacker found out that you were using out of date encryption standards, or worse yet, none at all.
