"Would You Connect to an Unsecured Wireless Network?"

After reading the Ethics and Issues section in Chapter 5, I've learned that 25% of wireless networks are unsecured. Having and unsecured network will leave it available for anyone who comes across it to log on and use it.  If you have a data cap this could give you the risk of having an overage charge. Criminals often use an unsecured network to cover up technology-related crimes. Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)  states that it isn't illegal " to intercept or access an electronic communication made through an electronic communication system that is configured so that such electronic comminucatin is readily accessible to the general public." But it doesn't state whether it is referring to unsecured home network and a public hot spot or just the public hot spots.  So as for the question "Would You Connect to an Unsecured Wireless Network?", no I wouldn't connect to an unsecured network unless it was the BCC network while I'm attending the college because I feel it is stealing, you are essentially getting internet free while someone else is paying for it. Also using and unsecured network could compromize your computer or mobile device you will be more secepitble to getting virus or malware and your information could also get stolen.
