Will password get stolen over unsecure network?
lightblade
There's plenty of unsecure networks around the place I live. So I can play GW with it. The thing is will my password get stolen over these networks?

Not as long as you are careful with your computers defenses. Run spyware programs daily etc.

If you are stealing someones bandwidth then you deserve to get something stolen in return.......

Technically, it can be stolen. But if people don't even know how to secure their network there is a very low chance of them knowing how to get your password.

I'm just thinking they may leave their network unsecure just to steal other's passwords.

If noone has noticed that you're stealing their bandwidth then probably they don't even know that, and they don't care.
