Least something is done about it if caught, but has quite worrying consequences but how can u be sure that your internet wireless network is safe ??? Even with WEP/WPA, once routewr default has been set up it can be hard to change it like router name & dont really understand the WPA configuration whereas WEP is easier but how safe is it?

Has it never occurred to you why your next door but one neighbours say they have BT as thier ISP ?
