Re: How's this for a metaphor That is true. Not only that they have access to all sorts of settings and data on your computer (assuming the Guest login isn't locked down that tight). I would say the "Guest" access on your local computer is a far greater risk than someone using your bandwidth. Now if someone accessed your computer through the open AP, THAT would be grossly invasive and without a doubt illegal.
However I still see people accessing your bandwidth no more invasive to your system or resources than those projects where you share processing power with others (SETI, etc). That is of course until a bandwidth hog gets on your AP. Still it's easy enough to cut them off. |
