Don't be a victim of network abuse!
|
If you surf the internet wirelessly with no encryption or security installed on your modem or router, you could be leaving yourself open to some serious security threats.
Many broadband users are unaware of the many risks there are when using an unsecured wireless network. As a broadband customer, you could face any, if not all of the following implications, without even knowing.
You could be allowing someone to...
-
see the information stored on your computer
-
use your service to illegally file share (which will use up your broadband usage allowance)
-
access and download illegal content on your home network
-
pass on network threatening viruses to your computer
