What are the risks if my wireless Internet isn’t secure?

Spencer Municipal Utilities would like to remind our Internet customers of our Acceptable Use Policy (PDF).

SMU sets forth an Acceptable Use Policy with the intent of protecting our service, our customers, and their users of the Internet from potentially abusive actions taken by SMU customers. SMU suggests reviewing the policy with those using your Internet account.

Another reminder is to make sure your wireless router is secure to help protect your account from potentially violating the Acceptable Use Policy. This is a concern with the increasing amount of devices in the home using a wireless internet connection.
