The UK's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has issued a paper that exposes critical flaws in the new generation wide-area broadband wireless WiMAX technology:


The piece also notes some inherent problems with wireless and WiMAX technology in general, such as their use of radio frequency spectrum, which makes it fairly simple to jam and issue denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

It's understood from Govexec.com's summary that such exploits are already well known but that not enough is being done to protect people at the subscriber/end-user level. Sadly many of these problems may only come to the fore after WiMAX has had a chance to establish itself.
