I guess it would be beyond expectation for someone to tell anyone complaining their data was "stolen" that they should have been pumping it into the local atmosphere for all to read without any encryption or other basic protection.
Yeah, just like we should not prosecute crooks that steal credit card numbers from ATM's, but instead we should blame the victims because they were "too stupid" not to see the modifications?
If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Or in this case, if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be broadcasting it over the airwaves to the public at large.
Just a thought.
You can't be that stupid. I live in a place that has wifi where you log in with password. It is encrypted, but after logged in you can still sniff everyone else on the network. It still doesn't make it right to do so.
Likewise, your internet traffic goes unencrypted when it leaves your house. It doesn't make it right for me to plug in to that in between your house and ISP and capture that data.
