Absolutely, there are things you can do to protect your data. Unfortunately, not everyone is "computer savvy" and don't know whether they are sharing their data or not. To say no one can get in, well, I don't think that is accurate. If you are connecting to ANY network, you run the risk of someone getting to your data. You can, however, make it too difficult to make it worth the amount of time it will take them to "hack" it.
