Using an open hotspot? Must be up to no good....
According to this
St. Petersburg Times article, a Tampa man in April was arrested for
"unauthorized access to a computer network", a third-degree felony, after he was caught using someone's Wi-Fi from a parked car in the street. Only after ample discussion of pornography, death threats, spam and crime does the article mention that not every
"War Driver" has sinister intentions. It shares this tone of this
Indianapolis news story from February, where Wardrivers are described as
"roving cyber thieves".
