Topic: Google Street View Cars Steal WiFi Passwords!

[Skhilled (OP)]

Google Street View cars were found to be collecting data from unsecured Wi-Fi networks in 30 countries worldwide; Google feeds this data into its location database, the Google Location Server, and now collects from Android phones and tablets.

To opt-out your wifi from the Google Location Server you need to append the following to your router's SSID:

"_nomap"

I think people need to start a petition against this type of thing to let them know it's not right to automatically steal passwords! I'm not sure about other countries but in the USA it is supposed to be against the law or should be!

I think you're right about the need to start a petition.
