SECURITY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SHARED INTERNET CONNECTION

One more danger associated with shared internet connection is that your neighbors may misuse your internet connection by including illegal activities such as illegal downloading, spam messages etc. You may be responsible for that illegal activity even though you are not directly involved.
