if you connect to someone else's wireless web can they get into your computer or find out any of your information?

It is currently illegal to piggyback off someone's wireless internet connection w/o their consent. I don't know why. All I know is people have been arrested for it.
As for getting files from other computers in the network - perfectly plausible. Windows has an option to make your files "shared." As in, all your folders/files marked "shared" will be up for grabs for other computers in the network. This is helpful if you want to transfer documents from one computer to another. Even if your files/folders are not "shared," it's just an easy task for a hacker to enter your harddrive. It's not a myth, people can control your computer's harddrive and download data w/o your knowledge and consent. I wouldn't be worried though, the average PC person doesn't have to be worried that some evil guy will hack into their harddrive and blackmail them. Just keep your files not shared, and you'll be fine! |
