Airlines, beware! With the Bangalore International Airport leaving the wi-fi hotspots unsecured at the airport, a hacker can break into the servers containing your databases and tamper with sensitive information pertaining to flight schedules and passenger details.

Not only that. The e-mail ID of a passeger surfing the net while waiting for his flight can be hacked to send a terror  mail, and he could end up under the scanner of security agencies while the real culprit remains undetected.

Shockingly, the wi-fi access points in a sensitive area like BIA are still vulnerable to hacking, even after the danger facing open and weak wi-fi networks was exposed by Bangalore Mirror three months ago (‘Wi-fi Way to Terror’, Sept 2).
