Wardrivers Driving Information from Small Businesses

Police in a large metropolitan city have been pursuing a specific group of criminals known as wardrivers stealing information from small businesses. The group uses businesses' weak wireless security to steal credit card and other personal information. Seattle Police state that the estimated cost from just this one criminal organization was over $750,000.
