[QUOTE="iRock, post: 523190, member: 9277"] Actually anyone within radius probably is connecting to your network (especially if their computer / iPhone /iPod touch etc) is set to automatically connect to an available wireless network. These people can view your network shares, take control of your router, leech internet view your personal files [B]very easily.[/B] What router do you use? WEP can be cracked in seconds using some automated processes. Use WPA encryption if your device supports it and dont broadcast the SSID. [/QUOTE]
