ST: Teen, 17, first to be charged with unauthorised wireless Net access

Oh no! Disaster! But does that mean I can start lodging complains others who use my network? With the advent of SG@Wireless, will people still piggyback on open networks? Hmmm…

Recommended by angelajean: "This is because piggybacking has been so common since the start of wifi-networking that everyone thinks that it is ok to piggyback - even from the bus stop while waiting for the bus! Now that prosecution has started, what constitutes "trespassing"? What kind of proof is needed then?"

Then the piggybackers deserves to be charged for mischief. Then again, there is nothing the owner can do except to hard reset the router, which will then remove all traces of the log. :(

These piggybackers are downright evil then. They deserved to be shot and hung twice over.

The owner may be in the fault for not securing his network, but for the piggybacker to be up to such mischief, I don't think it's any right either.
