I've never really thought about this before but I recently heard a story about someone whose computer was hacked into, and it made me think about my wireless network at home and how it isn't password protected. I wouldn't even know how to go about setting up a password for it. I assume that the fact I have never set a password for it, and the fact that my computer just automatically connects to it every time it's switched on, means anyone sitting within a certain radius of my router could, in theory, access the network. Would they be able to access my computer's files etc if they were able to connect to my network? Is this something I should be worrying about?
