2) If a person gained access to your wireless gateway/cable
modem via an unsecured wireless access point, what could he
do to the computers on the LAN?
Only destroy the computer & any part there of. This is not a
hacking list but you should trust what the others are telling
you. OBTW getting into a LAN can be done several ways not
just by an unprotected wireless, if you don't have a UN/PWD
when logging in then your Shares don't have a PWD either then
a hacker from anywhere on the Internet can corrupt & destroy
every machine on the LAN but it's ok if you don't believe me
as you'll only be paying in spades.
I believe you, Wayne. I'm just trying to understand.
Thanks.
