I Am Sure That Many Of Us Have Taken Advantage Of Free Wi-Fi,

but beware if you do, you could lose more than you think!


to promote its services, F-Secure assembled a simple Wi-Fi hotspot from about $200 in parts, company representatives took it to a busy shopping mall and convention center in London, but and a big but, did you read the terms and conditions before you clicked to agree to them if you wanted their free Wi-Fi? if you had signed up to use their service buried in the small print was a number of conditions, if you looked you might have spotted this passage:


In using this service, you agree to relinquish your first born child to F-Secure, as and when the company requires it. In the event that no children are produced, your most beloved pet will be taken instead. The terms of this agreement stand for eternity.

this by the way is the Wi-Fi assembly that  F-Secure made, before you think people would have read the small print, in half an hour, they recorded 32 MB of data, such as passwords and private messages, from passersby who logged into their hotspot,



free Wi- Fi, use it at your peril!
