Man Charged With Stealing Wi-Fi Signal
This is pretty insane if all he was doing was surfing the web. In that case you probably could charge half of America for stealing Wi-Fi signals at some point in their lives. We'll see however if there are any other ulterior motives like hacking into the guy's computer or something.Benjamin Smith III, 41, faces a pretrial hearing this month following his April arrest on charges of unauthorized access to a computer network, a third-degree felony. Police say Smith admitted using the Wi-Fi signal from the home of Richard Dinon, who had noticed Smith sitting in an SUV outside Dinon's house using a laptop computer.
