Default signal

On the past couple of weekends I have been picking up an ethernet signal which invites me to connect using a 'Default' network.


I admit have take advantage (while trying to decide which isp/bb supplier to sign up to after being freed from the ezeedsl snare).

Am I just fortunate to be getting a fairly fast service 'for nowt' or will this come back to haunt me in the shape of a BIG BILL from 'Default'. I can't get this service everywhere/all the time - it is generally only on a Saturday evening/Sunday morning.

:confused:
 
I don't see how they could know its you.....
Other than by getting you to download some piece of software....
And I don't know how they could bill you for it anyway..

HOWEVER.....
If you can get your IP address once you log in and then use it on samspade you may get an idea of who you are connecting through...

Unless its just a bad unsecured connection...

Just be careful.....
 
Just be careful.....

And remember that whoever runs the network can see everything you are doing, pop3 passwords, websites you visit etc.. (and if you share stuff on your pc.. they can also get to that).

Otherwise.. have fun :)

Ways to stop the snooping: VPN or https://
