Neighbours are great for certain things, like borrowing sugar, beer and lawnmowers off but the downside is that they tend to spy on you and steal your Wi-Fi.

Sticking with the paranoia theme of the blog below, it’s time to stop hacking neighbours – and terrorists in your neighbourhood – nicking your Internet access and stealing your identity. Rather than investing in hi-tech gear though, all you need is a tin of paint. Or should I say, the EM-SEC Coating System. You know this for real by the ridiculous language security firms use – just read on.

EM-SEC Technologies has created a new paint – or “Electromagnetic Fortress” that blocks hackers intercepting data from the airwaves. Just one coat of the EM-SEC Coating System will do the trick. The company tested it on its HQ, a.k.a. its Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). See what I mean?

This stuff was created for the US military but has now been cleared for corporate and domestic use. There’s no price but I’m guessing it'll give Dulux a run for its money.-Martin Lynch
