Who do you contact if you suspect that someone is "hijacking" (if thats the right term) someone elses internet connection, even if it is a secure network ??
My neighbour, who is extremely dodgy (hides his car so the cops can't find it, doesn't tax it, has bailiffs after him etc apart from letching at every female that walks within a 2 mile radius), when he is on his laptop, sits it precariously balancing on the window sill, with net curtain around it and the window wide open, even in the current gale force winds and torrential rain that we are experiencing.
His brother has just moved around the corner, and mentioned to a friend of mine that he was in the process of sorting out his internet access, but may latch on to someone elses in the meantime, to which she replied, can you actually do that? He said, that as long as you had a certain programme, you could, but then said that he probably wouldn't do it.
Whenever I've seen the brother hanging out the window, there have been a couple of wireless networks within connecting distance, so I'm pretty sure this is what hes doing, but who would you report your suspicions to? If he can and is hacking into connections, can he also be doing the same with email accounts etc?
You're probably all thinking I'm a right stick in the mud, but this guy is someone to be very wary about and I'm not paying £20 per month just for him to get free internet access.
Would this be a police matter as a type of hacking or ...?
