Wireless Routers Prone to Hijacking

There is quite an alarming number of people who admitted to piggybacking on their neighbor or someone else's wireless router to have internet access. Wireless routers are often the easiest prey of highjackers and this poses potential danger to internet users.
There are several problems with piggybacking. Users lose their privacy and security resulting to ID fraud and plain theft. Internet users may like the idea of free routers being given by their ISPs, but using a wireless router also means opening doors to cybercriminals.
