With the increase of Wifi use, more and more people are stealing their online connections from you!
A new survey has show that 11% of 2,000 people questioned confessing to hi-jacking their neighbour’s Wifi connection. When I saw the survey, I carried out my own local survey by taking my laptop out and seeing how many unsecured Wifi connections I could find.
Within a 2 mile distance of my house I had found 5 unsecured private (that is not your coffee shop type) connections!
It’s surprising to me that people can be so cavalier with something that a) they are paying for – why do they want give it away free and b) why they want to be open to having their own PC hijacked?
Following few simple set-ups, depending on the type of connection and equipment that you have would save any potential threat turning into an hijack of your PC.
