A whopping 4.3 million people in the UK have ‘hacked’ a neighbour’s WiFi, a new report reveals.
Paris-based satellite broadband provider Konnect has surveyed 2,000 UK residents about how far they’ve gone in the bid to stay connected.
The average time perpetrators spent using a neighbour’s internet without permission was 52 days, although one in 20 people remained logged on for over a year.
