Most people use GPRS to access the Internet from their mobile, so you are being a bit "alarmist" over nothing. WEP is a wireless LAN protocol, not a GPRS protocol.

Talking WEP is not germane to mobile phones and most WEP users are laptop users.

Let's not turn this into a security "frighten everyone" discussion, please.

PS: This year so far I have had more car accidents than people hacking into my mobile phone Internet access, so if, as pludi says, we need to be so afraid of mobile phone Internet access, then I should never drive a car. In addition, drinking in discos I have had a least two drunk guys want to start a fight this year (over smiling, beautiful women), which is two more than anyone has hacked into my Internet mobile access, so I better not drive a car or go do any discos, since the risk is higher.

In other words, let's do don't go down this path of "let's be afraid"..... thanks so much.
