Network security
Wireless networks are less secure than cable ones. If you do not secure your wireless network then
anyone within range can access it.
When you connect to your own wireless network you will probably see all of the others within range
in a pop up like this one. Just as you can see othetr people's networks, they can see yours and, if it is
not secure, they will be able to use your internet connection - at your cost. Even if you trust your
neighbours there are websites which publish the location of unsecured 'hot spots' so that people can
get internet access without paying.
