Exactly. It's all very noble leaving your router open so others can use it, but it means they are on YOUR network - hope your computer(s) are well protected.

Someone managed to hack into my router this morning, even though it was WEP protected, and disable the admin password AND all security! Luckily I was online when they did it and able to take immediate action.
