Which of these is NOT a risk when a home wireless router is not securely configured?
An attacker can steal data from any folder with file sharing enabled.

Wireless endpoints must be manually approved to connect to the WLAN.

Usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and other information sent over the WLAN could be captured by an attacker.

Malware can be injected into a computer connected to the WLAN.
Which of these Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) methods is vulnerable?
