  • The real danger here is in the fact, that ANYONE can just park outside your house and intercept your facebook/twitter/etc session (=login under your name), steal your email passwords, view which sites you are currently browsing etc. etc. If you connect to a wi-fi network that DOES NOT USE WPA security - that means that ALL YOUR DATA through this network just floats around in the open and CAN BE READ BY ANYONE. It is a bit like shouting your sensitive information out loud.

  • When you do a scan for wi-fi in windows or your phone you too capture and record these packets, but then the data is analysed and packets, that are not needed are deleted. Google however uses custom hardware and software that does not do this automatically, and it was probably easier for them not to analyse data on the spot and just record every public packet, and sort it all out later on their mainframes.

  • They recorded the list of available wi-fi networks on every gps coordinates, to help mobile phone users get their location without gps based only on what wi-fi netwroks are visible from their location. However the way wi-fi works is that info about networks is ALWAYS mixed with data packets from OPEN UNPROTECTED networks.
