Same here. If you don't secure your wifi then you are legally responsible for what people do on your internet which I kind of understand but where does the line get drawn? If my computer gets hijacked and is used in a DDOS attack against some website, am I responsible for that too? At best this is all a legal gray area.
- pi18n 14y agoA greyhat should write a virus that hijacks computers and makes them Tor exit nodes. Anyone can run it voluntarily and claim ignorance. And people that get hijacked would have been hijacked by something anyway, so they will at least be supporting free speech with this one.
- finnw 14y agoWay to make politicians even less sympathetic towards Tor. It's now a "hackers' tool" as well as a "kiddy fiddlers' tool" BTW plenty of IRC-based botnets already do something similar, though usually without proper encryption.
- cloverich 14y agoWhile I don't totally agree with it, I think the requiring a password on your wifi is not a gray area compared with having a computer virus or a hacked computer. A more comparable analogy would be a hacked Wifi vs a hacked computer - in either case i doubt you'd be liable. That's probably their reasoning in requiring a WiFi password.
