BIL should take out his hard drive, smash it into a million pieces, buy a new hard drive and start all over. He needs to completely secure his network so his neighbors can’t access it. And don’t look at a neighbor’s files even if they show up on his computer by mistake. That’s being nosy and can cause problems.
If it was just a mapped drive then there is no need to destroy BIL’s hard drive.
Kudos. Best advice on the thread.
This is what I was thinking. We have a right to be secure in our possessions. Today the cops may want to raid your computers for dirty pictures, tomorrow it could be for unapproved opinions. (In Germany they have such laws today.)
What wireless system was BIL running? Mine barely makes it across the house ... working all the way across a street is not a sure bet.
