Not entirely true, HD1200. They could have opened a folder for sharing on their unsecure wireless home network with full permissions. Any idiot could then drop files on their system (in that folder - including creating new folders in the shared folder).

Time to enable WEP security.

But I’d think twice about deleting everything before calling the police. If the camping trip photos ID the neighbor, that may be evidence that links him to the kiddie porn.

Good advise...me, I would low level format the HD and start over clean. These days you can't be too careful.

Any FReeper that need to now how, feel free to send me a FReepmail

WEP is better than nothing, but WPA2 is much better. Even that isn’t fully secure, but it takes some effort to break it, more than the Average Joe is going to take, maybe.

It’s also possible to go around either WEP or WPA2. But, they’re better than nothing.
