There may well be known methods of hacking/decrypting the various security features of many wirelsss routers but :

(a) You would have to purposely want to/have a need to hack it
(b) you'd need a certain level of skill and knowledge. Many solutions are linux/console based
(c) you;d need time on your hands

Its not hard to find unsecure networks and its not hard to secure them . A lot of people just dont realsie the issue and/or don't know what to do.

Most talk of hacking/stealing personal info/hacking into your computer blah blah blah is driven by media mis-information and hype as we know.

ISPs just chuck in a wireless router because its an added value thing. also a lot of people prefer to use lappys than tethered desktops. You have to keep pace with your competitors.
