Brits: We’ll lock up Wi-Fi freeloaders
If you’re a Wi-Fi user in the U.K., beware: The police are cracking down on freeloaders who use other people’s Wi-Fi networks. In the latest case, a man was arrested because he used a laptop to browse the Internet via an unsecured home network in London.
Reuters reports that a 39-year-old man was spotted by officers as he used his laptop just outside a private home Chiswick, west London. He told the police he was using the house’s network to get onto the Web, and the officers promptly arrested him. He was later let out on bail.
