The Ethical Dilemma Surrounding the Use of Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

If you come across an unencrypted, unprotected Wi-Fi signal that isn't yours, do you have a right to use it? . . .. If you come across an unencrypted, unprotected Wi-Fi signal that isn't yours, do you have a right to use it? That's the question I faced a couple of weeks back, when I sat down in my Dad's living room in his fifth-floor apartment in lovely Queens, N.Y. - home of Archie Bunker, Harry Houdini's grave, the Ramones, and the New York Mets (motto: "At least we're not the Montreal Expos.") My Dad uses AOL broadband access, and it's often a pain in the neck to configure when me and my laptop come in for a visit. I didn't want to mess around with that at the moment, but I did want to check e-mail right away. My Dad doesn't have Wi-Fi, but I thought that maybe one of the neighboring apartments might. If you enter any random New York apartment (and I'm not suggesting you actually do this without ringing the doorbell first, unless you enjoy the smell of mace), you might well find a good, strong Wi-Fi signal there. If the owner hasn't set up an access point himself, it's likely one of the neighbors has an unsecured Wi-Fi access point in range. Wi-Fi is easier to find in New York than parking spaces -- and WAY easier to find than decent Mexican food. The link for this article located at securitypipeline.com is no longer available. . If you come across an unencrypted, unprotected Wi-Fi signal that isn't yours, do you have a right to. across, unencrypted, unprotected, wi-fi, signal, isn't, yours, right. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
