The thing is, once somebody hacks your wifi, that person is in your network and can try to access all computers in your network, and even worse, use your internet connection for attacks to other networks on the web and you are the one to blame if it's discovered as they use your connection. And what about somebody hacking your wifi and thus being part of your network and then download child pornography ? If discovered, they come to your door !!! That happened not far from my village. -- ASS-Ware ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ASS-Ware's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32888 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
