I just connected to some of my neighbors internet. Can they get my info?

I connected to other peoples wireless internet for a like less than a minute. I didn’t go on the internet though. Is it possible for them to have gotten info on me when i connected to their wireless router?

Any and all packets going through a router can be "sniffed" as well as the MAC address of the machine connecting. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.

  2. They may noticed the Icon flashing, but I doubt if they got any details.

  3. Their router log will show the login/logout if they were interested in looking at that info.

    Odds are they’re not that paranoid.

    Just don’t connect to others wireless signal anymore without their approval.
