I don't think this particular instance is evidence of that, but I think it highlighted the fact it may be a problem. So far everyone has said that there was no hacking incident based on several plausible, likely explanations for the events that occurred. Other than relying on WPA security I haven't seen much counterargument about the 'hacking' not being possible.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but that's my $0.020000000000000001 (Sorry, using an Intel...)
