Default A Good Reason To Make Sure Your Home Wi-Fi is Secure

In Evansville, Ind., young Stephanie Milan was lounging on the sofa watching the Food Channel when a Swat Team burst into her house tossing a flash-bang stun grenade into the living room.

Threats seemed to have come from the Milan household against the police and their families through the Milan family's open Wi-Fi connection.

A prankster evidently tapped into the non-secured connection to post these threats.

Apparently these things aren't that uncommon.

Make sure you Wi-Fi connected is locked and secure.

Online threat
