And this is why you always want to secure your network! /netsec

It's still possible to break WEP/WPA/etc, but it would get pretty suspicious even if you don't know how to monitor your router's access log; strange car parked in front of your house and all that. Well, maybe not if you live in the city. Or an apartment. Or have pervert neighbors.

Holy moly this is funny.

No one was using it for child porn. They were talking about open Wi-Fi in general, not that particular one. This one was only used for the threats.
