Wireless flaw could let hackers breach wired network - SC Magazine US: "Researchers at a security firm on Tuesday disclosed a vulnerability within the Cisco wireless framework that could offer intruders a gaping entryway into an organization's network.
The AirMagnet Intrusion Research Team said it discovered an exploit, known as 'skyjacking,' which could enable someone -- either on purpose or by accident -- to take control of a wireless access point (AP) and point it to an outside Cisco controller.
'Access points do not normally get connected to the wrong controller,' Wade Williamson, AirMagnet's director of product management, told SCMagazineUS.com on Monday. 'If [one does], you have a big problem. We've uncovered a way where, by accident or design, an access point could get connected to the wrong controller or a controller that's not in its network.'"
