OPP warning about the dangers of leaving your wireless internet connect unsecured

NORFOLK COUNTY - A man driving around Norfolk County stealing internet connections has prompted OPP to remind residents to ensure their wireless internet is password protected. 

Earlier this month, OPP say a homeowner noticed a van parked outside of their home. When they approached the van, officers say it left and went into a neighbouring driveway.
 
After an investigation, OPP determined the driver had been using unprotected wireless internet signals to download movies.
 
Officials say having an unsecured connection could result in excess usage fees as well as illegal content and criminal activities taking place which you could be on the hook for.
