How safe are you out there? PT.2
Open Wireless networks can be used by attackers to read data going over a LAN or on an individual PC.
The anonymous nature of open networks means they can be used by anyone. In those cases, the owner of the wireless
network (see pt.1) will be liable
for damages. “If you have a Wi-Fi connection in a public park, what would stop, God forbid, a child
pornographer or, God forbid, a terrorist using that network?” quoted from
http://www.newhouse.com.
