1. Kaspersky Lab releases research on WiFi networks in France

Kaspersky Lab analysts conduct regular research into WiFi networks and
protocols in order to gain an overall picture of WiFi security issues
and to raise public awareness. This research focuses on WiFi network
access points and mobile devices which support Bluetooth. Previous
reports have covered Peking and Tjianjin, networks established at CeBIT
2006 (Germany) and InfoSecurity London, which included data both about
networks at the exhibition and around London.

This latest report looks at Paris, and specifically at wireless networks
and Bluetooth devices at InfoSecurity 2006, recently held in the city.
Alexander Gostev, a senior virus analyst at Kaspersky Lab, compares the
data collected about WiFi networks in London and Paris, including data
collected in the business regions of the cities. The first part of the
report provides an analysis of WiFi networks, including speed of data
transmission, equipment manufacturers, data encryption etc.

While collecting data about WiFi networks, Kaspersky Lab analysts also
collect data on Bluetooth enabled devices. Again, data from Paris was
compared with the data from London, which was published
(http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=188833782) on viruslist in
June 2006.

The report, to be published on 20th December on viruslist.com, contains
both the data collected, and a comparative analysis. The full details of
the research can be found here
(http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=204791912).
