In today's Internet society, more and more people are able to access the Internet each day. Oftentimes when & how we connect isn't as important as the risks associated with using an unsecured connection to the internet. The personal risk to our own privacy is even higher when broadcasting from an unsecured wireless network connection that is visible to people outside your home.

Consider the following information:

• The average user will install a wireless access point in the home without ever considering activating wireless encryption or password protection.
• Most out-of-the-box solutions do not offer automated wireless encryption.
• A wireless signal is visible to devices that use wireless connections within a radius of 50 meters (average may vary by product).
• An unsecured wireless network allows anyone capable of seeing the broadcast signal to connect to your network; view all connected devices; make use of Internet connectivity; and potentially gain access to your personal files or worse.

Don't take our word for it though, you can read more about the risks of wireless network security in this write up from PC Magazine Wireless Lan At Risk.
