My current method of Internet access requires that I connect to an unsecured wireless network. The router seems to have the default password changed at least, but I'm able to log on to the network without a password or anything.
What exactly are the risks associated with this? In Sharing in System Preferences I turned on the firewall, blocked UDP, and turned on Stealth Mode.
With all that, should I feel safe? Can people still easily intercept my data? And by intercept data, what exactly would that mean? People could just see what websites I'm looking at, or they could also steal my passwords and such?
If the latter, what else can I do to protect myself?
Thanks
