B) It is easily compromised by hackers. That's the kind of security vulnerability that makes me want to lock my device in a lead-lined box and throw it in the ocean.

Ah, good old WEP. It's like trying to keep a hungry bear out of your picnic basket with a piece of dental floss. No wonder hackers love it so much!

D) It is based on the outdated 802.lla wireless standard. Come on, we're in the 21st century. I want my security protocols to be up-to-date, not older than my grandparents.

I think the disadvantage of WEP is that it only supports 56-bit symmetric-key encryption.
