sorry, can anyone explain how this person could get into my computer, i don't care about any court cases.........
That's a good attitude to have. For me when I drink too much and drive I don't care about the fact I could kill myself or others, I just care how I can get caught.
[note: I don't actually do this]
sorry, i didn't explain the situation.
i live in a shared artist building where everyone is very community oriented and is like family _ so i am very trusing in this sense _
also, could you explain how somebody could gain access to my files ? i don't know that much about networking and wifi ....
would appreciate it ! : )
Trust, family, community...if this is how you describe the owner of your wifi connection then why in the world are you here asking us how they could potentially harm/steal/see your files? You do trust these people who are community people that are family-orientated. From your description the people in your art building do not take me as thieves, well except maybe you but that doesn't count.
Since you do not care about the court cases that were cited above aka the legality of the situation, then why care about who is going to access your files? I mean you said it..."trust, community, family" those people wouldn't steal from you. Forge ahead my friend.
If you must know, yes there is potential for your data to be exposed but that is a risk you assume when you connect to someone else's wifi.
