“Late last month, a Siamese cat named Coco went wandering in his suburban Washington, DC neighborhood. He spent three hours exploring nearby backyards. While he was out, Coco mapped dozens of his neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks, identifying four routers that used an old, easily-broken form of encryption and another four that were left entirely unprotected.  In the 1980s, hackers used a technique called ‘wardialing,’ cycling through numbers with their modems to find unprotected computers far across the internet.  The next logical step: The ‘WarKitteh’ collar, a device built for less than $100 that turns any outdoor cat into a Wifi-sniffing hacker accomplice.”
