Cloud computing used to hack wireless networks

As cool as the computing power of the Cloud can be, there's always those who would use it for nefarious purposes. This isn't good news for wireless security, but don't expect your local wireless networks to be hacked any time soon. 


This article talks about a white hat hacker (good guy, as opposed to black hat, bad guy) who figured out a way to use the computing power of the Amazon Cloud at an extraordinarily low cost. In the past it would have taken access to a supercomputer to execute the hacking routines he was able to run using Amazon servers for pennies a minute.
