I will be on a panel discussing the security of public WiFi services, on 
Radio 2CC Canberra, 10:30am Sunday, 9 November 2014. This is timely as 
news reports indicate that the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) is 
warning of increased risk of hijacking public wifi networks during the 
G20 summit next weekend. Even though the G20 is in Brisbane, Canberra 
makes an attractive target for attack, as the seat of national 
government and with many public servants, security and military 
personnel based here.
