Is if you are technology-saavy enough to setup or own a Wi-Fi hotspot, then you *should* know the risks of the leaving the hotspot open to anyone who sees it.
Problem is its so easy to set this crap up now you don't have to learn exactly what you are doing. No one wants to learn how and what they are doing, they rather plug it in and leave it alone.
