Dodgy salesmen in China are making money from long-known weaknesses in a Wi-Fi encryption standard, by selling network key-cracking kits for the average user.
Wi-Fi USB adapters bundled with a Linux operating system, key-breaking software and a detailed instruction book are being sold online and at China's bustling electronics bazaars.

The Obama administration is poised to appoint Howard Schmidt, a veteran IT security adviser in both business and government, as chief adviser to the president on cybersecurity policy.
President Obama announced the creation of the ‘cyber coordinator’ post back in May 2009, during a speech in which he said that “America's economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity”.
The responsibilities of the role, he said, would include “orchestrating and integrating all cybersecurity policies for the government; working … to ensure agency budgets reflect those priorities; and, in the event of major cyber incident or attack, coordinating our response.”

16 August 2009 - Berlin, Germany – With a performance that defies the imagination, Usain Bolt set a new 100m World record of 9.58 on the second evening of the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
That was 0.11 seconds faster than the mark he set last year at the Beijing Olympics - the biggest improvement in the 100-meter record since electronic timing began in 1968.

"I know I said 9.4,'' Bolt said, grinning. ``You never know. I'll just keep on working.''
