On December 27, the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued a warning about a vulnerability in wireless routers that use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to allow new devices to be connected to them. Within a day of the discovery, researchers at a Maryland-based computer security firm developed a tool that exploits that vulnerability, and has made a version available as open source.

and my own personal comment about this. I think its awesome that something designed to make life easier in the way of security gets exploited. there is a reason why you have to set up everything and its to avoid this kind of crap. I do not know about most of you but any device i have that supports WPS i turn off as soon as i plug it in. people said i crazy. but meh.
