Ars Technica notes that "stealing" a WiFi connection that is unprotected just doesn't seem to bother the majority of Brits, according to a new survey.
Network security firm Sophos recently published a study on what it terms WiFi "piggybacking," or logging on to someone's open 802.11b/g/n network without their knowledge or permission. According to the company's study, which was carried out on behalf of The Times, 54 percent of the respondents have gone WiFi freeloading, or as Sophos put it, "admitted breaking the law [in the UK]."
With that in mind, please see poll below.
