A survey has found that over half of all home wi-fi networks in the UK are insecure and can be hacked into in under 5 seconds. A lot don't even have any kind of password protection!

By operating your home wireless router in an 'open' mode like this, not only are you giving others a free ride on your bandwidth, you are also giving cyber-criminals and spammers an opportunity to do their dirty work - using your home as the point of contact when the police start investigating! DO NOT RUN YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK INSECURELY!
