Read in todays Mail."Huge Security Alert" over BT Broadband.Customers not told that "Wi-Fi" network is open to attack.so if you,ve got it ,Check it out. There is a flaw in the Home Hub Wireless Network Systems installed by them.Only the Latest Versions of the BT system are Safe from attack.**M**.

Merlin
This quite worrying. I usually get the Mail but didn't get it today.
Will follow this up with BT.
Thanks

Hi Merlin... yes, I found someone else playing happily on my line a couple of days ago.. I think I've sorted it now... but not sure how I did it! I pulled the plug on everything, changed passwords etc.... and there it was, gone!! They were no longer a part of my network... it can only have happened recently, too.

Love

Daff xxx

thanks for that merlin i have bt hub had it for 2 years will keep a check xx

i have always allowed

my neighbour to use my broardband via wi fi

i pay for it anyway

so why not let them all have it for free

they are nice people

and i dont mind sharing

we have had no problems with this at all

I'm not the most technically gifted person but I thought that if someone had access to your wi-fi connection they could also get access to your computer. Hoping somone can clarify that for me.

Joy....you don't do internet banking or similar do you?

no jeanette hun

i only use it for my tree and scrabble

so no personal stuff on it at all

our business stuffs is on a separate system

which is locked

Oh good Joy!

Just a thought though....is your mother's maiden name on your tree and do you use it for any passwords? I'm sure you've got really nice neighbours and I'm not trying to worry you or anything, but you just never know

my passwords are chemical calculations

and quite long

anybody who guesses them best of luck

so no names at all

Chemical calculations...blimey!

*makes note to self not to enter any quizzes that Joy is taking part in* lol

just think if the neighbors got into my tree

they would say how boring


and if they got into my scrabble

i wonder if they could help with a word

containing four E s and 3 I s

as this is what ive drawn out the pot

on my present game lol HELP

Don't suppose scrabble allows chemical calculations lol

so far i have had made the words

tie twice and pie once lol

got better letters now panic over
