Simply with a laptop and a wireless card you can easily find open wireless routers. Not to be too paranoid but with an insecure wireless router all of your personal information ie, banking, identity, could be compromised.

Someone could connect to all your home computers, install malicious software and lauch attacks to other computers from your computer. What is really scary is that the internet Frauds are increasing every year. If you have an unsecured wireless router, do a research on your router brand and model on google, all home based wireless routers use a web page to access and configure and secure the router.
