I went war-driving on a whim today. You wouldn’t believe how much personal information your car leaks out. I saw names like “Drew’s Chevy” and Oscar’s Audi S5".

I locked my car down as much as possible when I got it.

    Anyway I don’t really see Wifi as much of a privacy risk. There are way more concerning things than Wifi. For Wifi to be attacked you need very specific conditions one of those being close proximity.

    In the past you could’ve used Wifi for physical tracking when people visited a place but now MAC address randomization is a thing and modern devices do not broadcast discover frames for Wifi.

      When you put your name on the WiFi, and combine that with your license plate being visible to everyone. That’s a lot of personal information that you’re leaking.
