A friend of mine got capped a couple of days ago, but says he's hardly been doing any downloading, and never normally gets capped. On inspection, his usage graph for last month shows a sudden rise towards the end of the month.
I recommended he get his password changed, but two questions remain:
1) If his bandwidth is being stolen, is there any way to track down who is doing it? 3GB for R1000 is bad enough; stealing it deserves a jail sentence! I guess there must be some kind of reference back to the router when it connects...
2) He's using the standard Marconi router that Telkom gives out. I secured mine a while back, but I don't remember it broadcasting its config website, or giving out my password through Telnet, so how could his details have been stolen. He hadn't reconfigured his router.
Thanks!
