| I have done a bit of War Driving myself and yes there are hundreds of unsecured wireless networks all over. I think the biggest problem is most people buy a wireless router(access point) from Wal*Marts, plug it in and never bother to change the default password. Everybody has the same default password so you know what it is if you buy one.
Hackers use these unsecured connections to send out Trojans, viruses and to obtain personal information. IF a hacker decides to use your network to crack into say a bank or ATM then it gets traced back to you.
