So, someone does some wardriving with a very sensitive WIFI adapter and finds your open network. Not only are they hackers, but they’re also pedophiles and use your network to download kiddy porn. Next thing you know, the FBI is crashing through your door, and you’re on the local news all the while protesting your innocence.

They search all your computers and don’t find anything incriminating. A year later, on page g20, there’s a little ‘correction’ that says you were cleared of all charges but no one sees that or even if they do, they still think you’re guilty.

Checking the logs is locking the barn door after the horse is long gone.

At least add a password.

Dude

Wardriving went out with the 90’s. They can surf for free at Starbucks. I live on a mountain. No one is going to drive up here to use my internet connection which doesn’t even reach the street anyway.
