Research at Indiana University brought into focus the fast pace and ease with which virus attacks could spread across Wi-Fi routers.
The researchers state most of the simulated attacks show tens of thousands of routers infected in as little time as two weeks, with the majority of the infections occurring in the first 24 to 48 hours.
A month ago,Apple computer dismissed claims that Macbooks could be hijacked via Wi-Fi.The following week however they released the security updates for a trio of flaws in MAC OS X that could be exploited to do just that.
