Survey Finds that 54% of Wireless Users Steal Wi-Fi Access

  • Article

Security firm Sophos reported that 54% of wireless users interviewed have admitted to using someone else's wireless Internet access.
 
In a report, done by the firm on behalf of The Times, many Wi-Fi users fail to properly secure their wireless connection with passwords and encryption, allowing passers-by and neighbors to steal their connection.
 
The report also notes that many ISPs put a clause on service that wireless customers must encrypt their connections, but the report also notes that it would be very difficult to enforce this mandate.
