Brendan Spaar thinks that the amount of data that Google collects is amazing. Nearly every search in the world is done through the site. Now federal regulators in the United States have declaired that Google is actually guilty of breaking their policy "do no evil." It turns out, according to police, those cute little Google Street View cars were actually war driving, snooping traffic of any unsecured WiFi hotspot that stood in its path. Google argues that its cars accidentially jumped onto unsecured hotspots and that no useful data was collected. This should serve as an eye opener to anyone that connects to their home router without a security key encryption like WEP or WPA. If a little Google car can accidentally jump onto your network, imagine what your enemies could do.
