It's not surprising that people are suspected based on their IP address - most of the criminals involved in these kinds of crimes are unlikely to be tech-savvy enough to gain access to someone else's wifi router.
The problem with suspicion is that collateral damage to those who are innocent, but I don't think the answer is to not investigate.

- IanCal 5y agoCollateral damage covers people getting blown up, it does not suggest mild outcomes.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoAs I said, I don't think an overly reductive euphemism intended to make people feel less bad about blowing other people up covers it.
