Look at the wireless icon on your device. Is there a little lock next to it? If not, then no, you are not.

Most likely if you’re using a password, you’re using some sort of encryption. WEP is very weak and was cracked years ago. Unless you’re using a 15+ character password for WEP, you’re vulnerable. If you’re using WPA, you should be okay for the time being.

No lock,so I guess I’m not.

Thanks.
