Two British arrested for "WiFi theft"
In England, arrested two men involved in the "theft of WiFi-traffic." To be precise in the definitions, the court regarded the act as “fraudulent access to communication services with the intention of avoiding payment”.
By the way, in the UK since 1990, the so-called Computer Misuse Act has been operating, and it is quite possible for fraudsters to get five years behind bars for a brother. But in this case, experts say, the law works completely wrong.
According to experts, a more reasonable action would be to ensure the security of wireless networks, rather than "demonstrative flogging."
