Like Photon said, if they are stupid enough to leave their network unsecured, they would know the same could happen to them vice versa so they aren't likely to be the kind of people who would know how to do this.
Keylogger? Back door trojan? I don't like the sound of that.

I will hook up my own connection on Monday, but how do I secure it? Can a layman do it? Any of you computer gurus wanna guide me through it and in exchange I'll teach you something about real estate, cars or construction? Or driving... I'll teach you how to drive!
