People working on unsecured wireless internet networks, beware!!
You are in a high risk of being caught for sending anonymous terror emails or accessing confidential info that you haven't actually done.Welcome to the dark world of "wardriving".
A Wardriver is a person who moves in a vehicle with a laptop -or a PDA which has a software that detects WiFi neworks. If an immoral wardriver finds a WiFi network that is not password-protected, he can perform mischievous activities with virtually impossible chance of being caught using the IP adress of the network.Only the person who owns the WiFi network is vulnerable for apprehension. Softwares for wardriving are readily available on internet for free and some devices have these softwares preinstalled.
The terror emails by "India Mujahideen" recently were sent from WiFi connections of an american in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai's Khalsa College are examples of such misuse.
So, Beware of Wardrivers...Be secure Be Safe!!
