Same philosophy applies to wireless networks, you are paying for a service, transmitting your personal data and broadcasting your privacy, encrypt the bloody thing! People should be be accountable, like any insurance company, they will not pay out if you did not take or make necessary actions or precautions to protect your assets, so when some criminal uses your unencrypted network for some real dodgy stuff, don’t be suprised that they used you!! simple science really isn’t it? All the best out there and to you all over the pond.

WITHOUT intent to be malicious or to “steal” anything , unless there is a NOTICE saying “no unauthorized access” , your free to roam , wardriving , wifi cracking/hacking/whatever is perfectly legal……. unless of a city ordinance or state ordinance where you are located at. I myself am in California , and recently the San Diego times , ran a 4 page report on how to make a pringles can antannae to go “wifi searching” with a 8 – 12 DB gain “quote”. in fact right now I am using someone elses wifi , that had a “WEP” encryption on it , however it is perfectly legal in the state I am in.
