Google's Street Cars WiFi data harvesting captured complete emails and passwords.

You excitedly unpack your new Wireless N WiFi router and set about setting it up. After spending an hour or so setting up wireless security etc. you get online, send a few emails, do some online banking, log into your Facebook and Gmail accounts thinking you are protected by your new secure all-singing-all-dancing wireless router, only to find that Google have just driven past your house and while taking some photo's, they also grab copies of your emails and passwords!

Of course Google was only able do this because we let them. By not encrypting our Internet traffic, everything we do through our routers is sent in plain text and can be read by anyone.

However, if we had been using a VPN Service like HeroVPN, then they wouldn't have been able to read any of the data. Maybe it's time to have the HeroVPN service running on your computers just like you have Anti-Virus software to protect from Viruses and Trojans.

The UK is to open a fresh inquiry into Google's Wi-Fi data harvesting after the company admitted its Street View cars captured complete e-mails and passwords. Read more about this story here.
