Two Arrested in the UK for Wi-Fi Piggybacking

Pocket-lint's Ryan Haynes reports that a man and woman have been "arrested and cautioned" for using other people's Wi-Fi in Worcestershire, England.

"The caution for 'dishonestly obtaining electronic communications services with intent to avoid payment' was only noticed by Neighbourslinks in the early hours of the morning," Haynes writes. "Illegal users can be tracked by the information they access using Wi-Fi networks, although some illegal sites are still difficult to trace."
