Ignorance is not bliss

My first thought was: Who cares? If your neighbor never locks his garage, front door, patio door and windows, why would anyone be surprised or care if he gets burglarized.

But after thinking about it, people just don't know any better. Most people think that just because they can purchase it at the local store, plug a few wires that it must be safe and properly installed. Same explanation for the 33 to 50% of on-line PCs that are infected one way or another... People just don't know any better.

What if someone takes the prybar from your neighbors garage and uses it to break into your house?

What if you accidentally were logged into your neighbors router. Never know. Something happened and yours was unavailable at the time of connection but your neighbors was available. Now your connected to his unsecured WiFi and someone hacks through the neighbors router to your computer and viola....

That was hypothetical. But who knows?

Not a flame just a what if. But I agree that people who are ignorant deserve what they get. I personally have a preffered network selected.
