After an Internet hacker threatened to release a series of embarrassing emails from guests and staff from US hotel chain Thompson at the weekend, British hotels offering WiFi to their guests are now being warned to step up security.
The hacker accessed personal emails through the hotel's WiFi system, which was left running on an open network, leaving several hotels in the Thompson chain facing possible lawsuits. Now IT security consultancy Global Secure Systems (GSS) are warning the same thing could happen in the UK if hotels don't start using passwords to protect their network.
