Beware the Sneaky Bandwidth Thieves

They hunch over laptops in their cars on neighbourhood streets, tapping into other people's wireless broadband connections for some free time online, and are fast becoming criminals of the internet age.
Wi-Fi theft leaves no fingerprints and keeps its distance, but thousands are at risk because they don't adequately password protect their wireless accounts.
I just got myself upgraded to a half decent 8 meg WiFi system, so rest assured I'll be taking suitable measures to secure it. I suggest you do likewise.
